I'm a new brewer and have recently put my first batch in the fermenter. Since I don't know too much about the brewing process in terms of adding ingredients (I just bought a kit and followed the directions blindly) I was hoping you guys could help me out with my next batch. I want to use a winter warmer extract kit and modify it with spices to make it more of a Spicy Christmas Ale. Ideally, I would love to get it as close to Great Lakes Christmas Ale as possible, but using a kit, I don't know how close I can get it. I was thinking of using cinnamon, ginger, and possibly honey. My problem is I don't know when to add these ingredients or in what quantities to add them. I'm assuming that I would add about 1 tsp of cinnamon and ginger post-boil but I don't wanna mess this up!
BTW, the kit contains 6lb Canadian Malt Syrup if that helps...
Thanks!
