I've got Northern Brewer's kit for Jake's Cascadian Dark Ale at home and I was thinking about transforming it into a Christmas ale somehow. Here's the current recipe for a 3 gallon batch:
5.25 lbs 2-Row
1.25 lbs Medium Crystal
.5 lb Weyerman Carafa III
0.5 oz Palisade hops (boil for 60 minutes)
1 oz Chinook hops (boil for 10 minutes)
0.5 oz Palisade hops (boil for 5 minutes)
1 oz Cascade hops (boil for 0 minutesadd to kettle
at end of boil)
If you were going to make 1 or 2 small tweaks to make this more Christmas-y, what might you do?
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. I really like St. Arnold's Christmas Ale, which is probably nowhere close to this, but it is nice and black.
