Brewed this for my Christmas stocks. It’s finished fermenting, so the last additions of the Apples will be getting added in the next few days.

Found the recipe in Novembers BYO magazine and made some slight tweaks. Fingers crossed this will turn out okay…first time using fruit in a beer. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
