I'm trying to formulate a recipe for a Christmas beer, mabe around 1.070 or so, But I am having trouble with the amount of spices to add. These are the spices I have been looking at.
5 3-inch cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons allspice
1 teaspoon cloves
6 ounces ginger root
I have read the ginger is overpowing even 1oz per 5 gallons, so 6 ounces seems like allot.
Anyone have any comments on the amount of spices on a 5 gallon batch? Mabe the best times to add...Preboil, secondary, end of boil, Mabe bottleing bucket with priming sugar?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
