Recipe is final! Happy Brewing!
Works for me
I’m good to go with this recipe. Last year’s batch was excellent!
Agree! This is a solid recipe and I would encourage folks to make extra that doesn’t go in the barrel to compare against the barrel aged RIS.
I like it. It’s the BOCK standard RIS that has won medals, but I have not brewed this in years.
