Brewing this over the Thanksgiving holiday.  It’s actually an attempt at cloning Unibroue’s Ephemere Pomme.  I don’t really have any ideas on what’s in there so the recipe itself is actually a clone of one of their other beers, Blanche de Chambly.  I figure it will make a good beer by itself, and I can add the apple flavoring [...]
