Gino's Apple Death

Source: Brew King
Recipe added: 01/23/98

This is an incredibly easy recipe, which can be added to in any number of ways. Try adding vanilla beans(2)to the boil, or pasturized fruit to the primary. Citrus is nice. Most of all, it provides a high-alcohol beverage that your wives, moms, and female friends can enjoy if they find your homebrew repulsive.
