If you are so inclined. Here is the recipe for Gertjan's own Honey & Thistle Ale. Adapted for modern home brewing.

Ingredients: 7 lbs. pale malt extract, 1 lb. honey, 1 lb. thistle flowers, 1 oz. Willamette hops, 1 oz. Fuggle hops, 1 package of ale yeast, 5 gallons of water

Instructions:

1. Heat 2.5 gallons of water to 160°F in a large pot.

2. Crush the thistle flowers and add them to the water. Let steep for 30 minutes.

3. Remove the thistle flowers and add the honey to the pot. Stir to dissolve.

4. Add the malt extract and stir until fully dissolved.

5. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the Willamette hops. Boil for 45 minutes.

6. Add the Fuggle hops and boil for an additional 15 minutes.

7. Remove from heat and cool the mixture to 70°F.

8. Transfer the mixture to a fermentation vessel and add the yeast.

This recipe will produce a beer with a golden hue and a sweet, floral aroma. The thistle flowers will impart a unique, herbal flavor that complements the sweetness of the honey. The ale yeast will create a clean, crisp finish, and the hops will provide a subtle bitterness to balance the sweetness of the honey. Enjoy your own version of Gertjan's Honey and Thistle Ale!
