I am not really sure what to call this. Here are the ingredients:
1 1/2 lb dried figs (chopped)
1 1/2 cups rasins
zest, pulp and juice 2 oranges
2 1/2 cups honey
3/4 sugar
Nottingham ale yeast
16 cups boiled water
SG was 1.100; after 4 days in the bucket it was 1.024. That makes it about 8.8% abv
I removed the pulp and tasted. The fig taste was a bit weak so I steeped another 8oz of dried figs in 1 cup water, then added that. Tonight I will bottle it up into pet plastic and store in the fridge.
The taste is very figgy, but light and nicely carbonated. I am quite happy with the result, but what should I call it?
