I just started brewing and actually just racked my first ever brew to secondary today It's a Kolsch and it already tastes good and my ending gravity is perfecto! 1.012.
My wife and family are very cinical about homebrews and my newfound hobby. It is my plan to suprise my family around the holiday time with an impressive and very palatable, to those who aren't true beer lovers, holiday brew.
Most of the recipes I come across are darker amber style ales with higher alcholol contents. I am looking to brew something lighter. I was thinking about a honey ale, and adding # chopped apples to the boil, removing them and racking to primary. I was then planning on adding whole nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon sticks in addition to a gallon of cider to secondary.
Do you think this is a good plan?
Does anybody have any great recipes along these lines that I could try?
almost forgot, I am an extract brewer.
