This is my first recipe, and I looking to make a brew that I can give out at christmas, here it is.
6.6 lbs light malt extract
2 lbs 2-row malt
1 1/2 lbs crystal malt
1/2 lb caramel 60 malt
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp whole clove
2 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp bitter orange peel
3oz Kent goldings hops (bittering)
1 oz Hallertaur hops (aroma)
1/2 teaspoon Irish moss
Wyeast European Ae yeast
Does this look good for a christmas ale? Should I had more or less of the spices? I was thinking about adding nutmeg but I thought it would be too overpowering.
thanks
