I want to create a great beer for the fall holiday parties. I am thinking a beer with some fruit and spice (Orange and Clove). I was thinking of making a Wheat beer that has a nice balance of honey/caramel with some traces of Orange and Clove to give it a little more holiday flavor. I am not sure about the fruit and spice since all my beers so far have been only all grain. Any advice on the recipe 5 gallon batch:
5lb- Crisp Pale Ale Malt
2lb- Crisp Crystal Malt 45L
1lb 5oz- Munton Torrified Wheat
7oz- Gambrinus Honey Malt
6oz- Briess Carapils
1oz Kent Goldings for 60 min
1oz Cluster for 10 min
British Ale (1098) Yeast
Orange and Clove at 10 min end boil. or create vodka orange and vodka clove to mix into secondary for flavor. not sure what is best. Want to start brewing soon to allow time to age.
