Fermentation:
The hotter the better, try to ferment in the low to mid 90°s.
I had to put this one up in the attic for the primary in the middle of the summer to hit my fermentation temps.
Rack to secondary and hold for 6 weeks at room temp.

Beer was really good but i would cut the jaggery sugar down to 1/2 a pound the next time.
