I have looking into this for some time and think I am going to try extract brewing the following:
6lbs Golden Light DME
2.5 lbs Caramel 20
1 oz Hallertau @ 60
1 oz Hallertau @ 30
.75 oz Cascade @ 5
US-05 Yeast
1 Nutmeg Nut - cracked, added @ 5min and primary
1.25 oz Ginger root - peeled, sliced, added @ 5 min and primary
3 cinnamon sticks - added @ 5 min and primary
Rack secondary onto 1.5 lbs of fresh pureed pears, and 3 vanilla beans
I'm looking for any adjustments I should be making to the extracts and grains, volumes of fruit, spices, etc.
Comments about how terrible this idea may be are just as welcome as comments on my general genius!
