Just got my Brewer's Best Holiday Ale in and was wondering if anyone has ever brewed this and if they had any suggestions. This is my first beer-brew (I have brewed Cider and Branden O's Graff already)
Also a question: The ingredient list lists 1lb of Golden DME the package lists the DME as Light DME....says nothing about being "golden". Is this normal?
*EDIT* Another question: After word cools as per directions it says to avoid transferring heavy sediment to the fermenter. Should I use something to strain the wort? Should I just add the flavoring and bittering hops and spice pack in nylon bags so I do not have to strain later on?
Ingredients:
FERMENTABLES
6.6lb Light LME
1lb Golden DME
1lb Corn Sugar
SPECIALTY GRAINS
12oz crystal 80L
4oz Chocolate
4oz Black Patent
SPICE PACK
HOPS
1.5 oz Bittering
1 oz Flavoring
Yeast
