A Christmas Ale

[fredbeard]

So after reading a few of the Christmas Ale recipes I wanted to try one of mine.
Basically it's Jamil's recipe but I'm replacing 3 pounds of British Pale with white wheat. After that I'm using my own spices. I'd really like to know what some of you think about the replacement.

16.5lbs British Pale
3lbs White Wheat
12oz Crystal 80
4oz Black Patent

1oz of Horizon at 60

"Spice Rack" added at 1 minute prior to flameout.
1 Vanilla Bean
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

i made a xmas ale 2 months ago and used 1 tsp of nutmag, 1 tsp of allspice, 1 tsp of ginger, and 3 table spoons of cinnimon, not to mention the 4 orange zests. the orange comes through on the nose and the nutmag comes through on the initial tastes.
