For the most part I like how this turned out. Next time switch out the Hefe yeast for an english or scottish yeast.Notes

"Shredded carrots were boiled for 10 minutes with 1 pound of 2 row to gelatinize starches prior to adding to mash.
Grated cinnamon, vanilla bean and nutmeg soaked in 6 oz. bourbon for two weeks.
Strain and add to taste at kegging. Candied ginger root added to boil with 15 minutes left. "
Thinking of adding Carrot Syrup in secondary to taste.

Next time put raisins in a muslin bag. Also boil the carrots and increase the strike water temp.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
