Followed directions almost exactly. I added twice the carrots and celery. Consequently I increased the stock by 8 oz and the beer by 4 oz. Wasn't sure whether recipe called for individual thyme sprigs or each cluster counted as one. So I counted my clusters as one. Each cluster had anywhere from 2 to 3 stems coming off the main branch. Would definitely make this again. Served on garlic mashed potatoes. Great comfort and cold weather food. Was a little labor intensive so I broke it up by roasting my garlic and making the mashed potatoes mid morning.
