I'm thinking about doing a lighter gravity Christmas beer with some spice and a wheat beer base. Something like a Dunkelwiezen (but maltier/thicker) with a Belgian yeast (t-58 or 3787), low hoppiness, and cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange peel.
1054, about 20 ibu, mash medium high to get some mouth-feel and sweetness to back up the spices, fermenting low-medium to stay away from banana.
40% Wheat Malt
30% Pale Malt
10% Munich Malt
6% C80
5% Dark Brown Sugar
4% Aromatic
3% Special B
2% Acid Malt (pH adjustment)
Thoughts? A few ounces of chocolate for color? How much on the spices? Or is this even a good idea?
