I revised this from a clone recipe for St. Arnold's Christmas Ale that sombody sent me. It was originally published in the Dec. ' 04 issue of BYO. That issue came out right before I subscribed to it and back-issues are no longer available.
The original called for Liberty hops, which I don't have on hand. I changed them to Crystal hops, which I do have, and have yet to use in a recipe. This will be my first time to use them. I also used ProMash to adjust the hop amounts and schedule to get closer to the IBU's posted on the St. Arnold's website. The OG is a bit higher than theirs, but I'll get by.
I had the real thing at my parent's house in Texas three years ago at Christmas time and loved it! I'll probably brew this version towards the end of the month. Let me know what you all - or I guess I should say, y'all - think!:
