Notes for next time:
The Rye, Munich, & Dark Munich were using up grains and were barely “milled” by smashing them with a rolling pin in a ziplock bag. I would still include a small portion of Rye and Munich in the future, though not Dark Munich. This beer was overwhelmingly lemony in the beginning, being described by others as lemon pledge. Over time, the lemon subsided and became an absolutely delicious and refreshing summer beer. Consider using less Verbena initially or expect to condition for a few months for lemon to relax. This beer won the duel by default as the other two competitors didn’t make their beer in time. Absolutely would make again.
