Hi everyone,
This weekend I plan on taking my first crack at a Christmas beer. I'm hoping it will be ready by then, but regardless, I'm hoping for a nice winter ale. I have to give credit to the Great Lakes clones I've seen around as they were the inspiration here, but I made some changes. Here goes nothing!
6 lbs 3oz of Munton's Light LME
1 lb Munton's Wheat DME
1 lb of Honey
8 oz cara-pils
8 oz Crystal 40L
8 oz Crystal 60L
4 oz Roasted Barley
1.5oz Hallertau for 60 min
1 oz Hallertau for 30 min
.5 oz Hallertau for 15 min
1 oz Cascade for 5 min
2 tsp of ground cinnamon at 5 min
1 tsp of ground ginder at 5 min
.5 tsp of allspice at 5 min
.5 tsp of nutmeg at 5 min
1 oz dried sweet orange peel at 10 min
1 Packet of Safale US 04 dry ale yeast.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any ideas to improve this thing!
