Hey all,
I missed my window of opportunity for brewing a big winter warmer for the holidays (too hot now), so I was thinking of going a different route for this year's holiday brew. Anyone have any opinions on a cranberry ale? I figure it won't require months of aging & I could brew it in Sept & drink it through the holidays.
Here's what I found:
New England Cranberry Ale (from The Homebrewer's Recipe Guide)
6 lbs Light DME
1 lb Crystal 40L
1 1/2 oz. Cascade (60)
1/2 oz. Mt Hood (10)
1 tsp gypsum
1 tsp Irish Moss
European Ale Yeast
Secondary with:
6 lbs. cranberries
1 c. corn sugar
What 'ya think?
