Hey, been brewing on and off for the past 15 years. Getting back into it after a 3 year hiatus. Only ever done extracts but am graduating from kits to devising my own recipes. About to try brewing my first Xmas ale this week. I created the recipe in the wort app. Not entirely sure if I got the proportions of specialty grains a d spices right. Anyone have experience in Xmas ales?

Welcome to the forum!

I only brewed a Christmas ale once a long time ago and I way over did the coriander. I kept it around for years and kept sampling it and even five years later it had too much coriander. So the only thing I have to offer is that some spices are easy to overdo and it's best to be conservative with them. I'm sure there are many people here with a lot of experience in this area that are willing to help.

Good luck!

Here's the link to the recipe in my Google drive. If you use the wort app you can view it, otherwise it's not very helpful.
