Flat Tyre Revisited (Apricot)

This is a fantastic beer and boy is it versatile. This last time I put in 1lb. of wheat malt
and 4 oz of apricot essence...amazing! If you want to omit the fruit then I would suggest
doubling the hops that I list in the recipe, that adjustment was only for adding the apricot.
When I make it sans-fruit I also add 1/4lb. biscuit malt. try it anyway you like, but I think
you'll find this is a great beer!
