Alright, so my holiday mild is in the fermenter and bubbling away. This is what I did:
4 # light DME
1/2 # Carapils
1/2 # Crystal 60
1.25 oz fuggles (60 mins)
.25 oz fuggles (20 mins)
Munton's dry ale yeast
1 clove (30 mins)
some fresh orange peel (2 mins)
5 bags Celestial Seasonings Sugar Cookie tea (2 mins)
I knew I had to go light on the seasonings, and somebody suggested that I just do boiling hops so I did that. I tasted it and it was a bit bitter... we'll see how it does after fermentation stops.
The tea, btw, has dried orange peel, vanilla and roasted barley.
