Well, it looks like I will have a couple people out to the house on Saturday for Teach a Friend to Homebrew day. The weather looks like it will be a nice crisp Fall day, perfect to make some beer with friends. I decided on a Spiced Winter Ale to make, because winter is coming fast and I just listened to a Jamil Show podcast about that style. So, here is the recipe, which was taken from Jamil's show.
Spiced Winter Ale
Ingredients:
- 13 lbs British Pale Ale Malt (original recipe calls for 19.5 lbs)
- 0.75 lbs Crystal 80 Malt
- 0.25 lbs Black Patent Malt
- 1 oz Horizon hop pellets (ended up using Progress hop pellets due to hop shortages)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ginger
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp All Spice
- London Ale Yeast
- Bottling Sugar
Stats:
- O.G. - Unknown (original was 1.090)
- F.G. - 1.022
- IBU - 45
- Color
- 19 SRM (approximate because I changed the amount of Pale Malt)
- Alcohol - 6.5% (original was 9%)
Instructions:
- Mash at 152 F for an hour using 1 quart per lb of grain.
- Sparge at 170 F until you have 6.5 gallons of wort.
- Boil for 90 min.
- Add hops 60 min from flame out.
- Add spices 1 min before flame out.
- Ferment at 68 F in primary and rack to secondary when mostly complete.
- Taste beer when racking from primary to secondary and adjust spice flavor if necessary with appropriate spice slurry.
- Add bottling sugar and bottle.
- Wait three weeks for bottle conditioning and enjoy.
