Well, this could very well be the last brew day that I have in this house. We are going to try to sell our house and move this year, and that means storing the brewing equipment in storage, so I most likely won't be brewing around here again. By the time this batch is ready to drink, it will be mid-March or so, and I'd love it if we could sell our house as soon as April. Either way, this is a fitting beer to be the last brew in the house where I started brewing, since I do so love Wee Heavy beers. I've tweaked this recipe again this time around, so we will see how it goes.
