Notes:
------
place frsh yeast in secondary 3 days prior to bottling
minimum 4 months bottle condition (tertiary)
Minimum 4 months bottle conditioning! However, like posted at beginning try to hold out and bottle condition for 6 months, if not a year!!!! So if you want a high alcohol (but mellow) dark winter brew, make this in december/ january and don't expect to crack the bottles until october/ november.
This tasted awesome after 2+months of bottle conditioning!
