Hey all, new to the forums. Currently have 5 gallons of Holiday spiced ale sitting in the secondary. This is my first real batch ever, based closely on Charlie's Holiday Cheer. The brew consisted of 7 lbs lme, 1 lb honey, 1/2 lb 60l caramel malt, 2 oz black malt, and some hops. Also some cinnamon, orange peel, and fresh ginger. Using saf-05 yeast. So, didn't hit my original gravity that I wanted, but instead of leaving it alone like I probably should have, I added 1.5 lbs corn sugar to secondary. So already having a ton of honey and corn sugar in the mix, was thinking about priming with maple syrup or molasses, what do ya guys think? And more importantly is this stuff going to be drinkable? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
