To make it gingerbread, I have read that Mosher says the following: use a lightly hopped brown ale as a base and add 4gs of cinnamon, 2gs of ground ginger, 1g of allspice, and 1 gram of clove. Could I substitute the 1 gram clove with 1 gram of nutmeg? Does this seem like an adequate amount of...

So I brewed a wheat and messed up big time. Read a 3 gallon recipe and applied it to 5. Needless to say, was a little low on my OG (1030), added 1 can of raspberry oregon puree, ended with a 1004 FG. Kegged and tasted, nothing to it. just raspberry whatever. I was thinking of throwing it back...

So i brewed a christmas spiced beer and i do not think there is enough spice. My cousin (who got me into the hobby and is experienced) suggested that I bottle half of them now, and then add more spice before bottling the second half. this way i can hone down on what i want to brew next year...
