Help!
My wife's family is requesting a christmas-y/winter ale for our usual Christmas Night gift exchange. My mom always makes an incredible cranberry relish that I thought I could rack a basic beer on top of (and maybe add some cinnamon and/or nutmeg) to create a pretty good holiday ale. Here is the cranberry relish recipe:
1 12oz. Bag of cranberries
1 Apple (whole)
1 Orange (whole w/ rind)
1 Cup sugar
My question is what kind of beer do I brew (grains, hops, yeast?) to rack on top of that, and how do I scale the cranberry relish up (how much of that should I have in the secondary)?
I'm looking to brew this on Saturday. ANY help or input would be INCREDIBLE!!!
Thanks and have a happy Thanksgiving!!!
