Mash Schedule:

Brewers Notes:

2 lb. 14 oz. Honey (Gourmet Award Wild Honey)
56 oz. (4 14 oz. bags of frozen raspberries)
4 cinnamon sticks.

Steep caramel and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil.

When it begins to boil, remove caramel and add malt, honey, and bittering hops.

Boil for 50 minutes and add finishing hops.

Boil for 10 minutes and remove from heat.

Add raspberries, place into primary fermenter, cool and pitch yeast. The cinnamon sticks were left (actually fell) in the primaery fermenter.

Transfer to secondary fermenter after 7 days. Rack off of the raspberries.

Add 1 cup of priming sugar and bottle.

Notes: The flavor has a strong finish of honey and plenty of carbonation. Next time I might reduce the amount of honey to 2 lbs. The final beer is in between a wheat and a Dunkel.
