So this Saturday I started brewing my favorite beer, a red ale. With some help at the LHBS I think I started with a pretty good list of ingredients.
Then much to my delight I read an article about adding cinnoman to red ales and that it adds a certain spring time quality to the ale.
So as I added my aroma hops I added 2 tsps of cinnoman. Then I got to thinking, what would go great with this beer? Vanilla ice cream. Then I thought, why not add vanilla to the beer.
So I'm off to buy some beans, soak them in some 16 yo scotch I got for my birthday and rack everything over the bean/scotch mixture.
So here are my ingredients so far. let me know what you think.
6.6 lbs of Golden light LME
1lb roasted crytal malt
1/2 lb chocolate malt
1oz UK goldings (bittering) 5.9%
1oz Us Goldings (bittering) 4.8%
1oz fuggle (aroma) 4.2%
2 tsps cinnoman
Planned additions
2 vanilla beans and the 2-3 oz of Glenlivit scotch that they have soaked in for 3 days.
Let me know what you think!
