Mugwort stout

[user 47630]

Mugwort and Nettle Ale has fermented to a nice 4.8 abv and is now conditioning in bottles. It tastes like ale with a nice clean bitterness and a light nettle green earthiness, a success.
Now on to the next, May Ale with Wormwood for bitters, Yarrow, Mugwort and Sweet Cicely for flavouring ( in a bag in the fermenter)with Mangrove Jack Saison yeast, I am really looking forward to this one.

I guess it can be used by those who know what they are doing.

Most homebrewers do not know what they are doing, when it comes to wormwood.

Ales so far, Spring (dried Wormwood and fresh Nettle and Safale ale yeast(6years old) , Summer ( dried Wormwood, fresh Yarrow, Mugwort and Sweet Cicely and MJ Saison) ,Mid Summer ( As Summer but double all fresh herbs and extra malt and 1kg of organic soft brown with harvested Saison yeast from the Summer ale. Yeast went wild in 35 minutes and is still fermenting happily 12days later with the fresh herbs in the fermenter. The Spring and Summer ales are aging nicely with the bitterness of Wormwood melding in and losing its slight harshness.
