The post at this point doesn't sound to promising, hopefully with a few weeks the undesirable stuff will mellow...but then again the recipe is from a long time ago and they could have been just looking for a high.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164491778482912043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934484790984119172.post-11357392200592054022010-08-25T10:17:39.024-07:002010-08-25T10:17:39.024-07:00Brewed it last night, I'll post the pictures o...Brewed it last night, I'll post the pictures onces it's done. FInal thoughts after brew night:<br />-be careful when packing up, saffron likes to stain things yellow<br />-I'll go with my original statement. This was too much saffron, it smelled like iodine and tasted like Nyquil. We'll see how it tastes in a few weeks.The Galatianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404570676052329763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934484790984119172.post-73695042853440414922010-08-11T09:42:42.125-07:002010-08-11T09:42:42.125-07:00ha ok I sort of lied.

When I kick out the Honey Ale from my Mr. Beer fermentor I'm going to try this.<br /><br />Also wanted to note that using too much saffron can make things taste medicinal.
