This is a mugwort porter and the recipe is:
- 18 litres water
- 600g molasses
- 1kg brewing sugars
- a few inches of ginger
- about half a dozen small lemonbalm leaves
- one of those bags used for fruit and veg stuffed full of mugwort
I've submerged the mugwort in the wort, using a cotton bag weighed down with mugs.
The nettle porter last year worked well but had a bit much of alcohol for me.
Update: seems I've pushed my luck too far and the wort is infected. Guess it might've been the tea bag (an old flour sack) weighed down with three mugs.
