- Tasting Notes
- Malt perfectly in line with bitterness.
I based this recipe on a Brewyourown recipe. I changed the quantity of ingredients but still managed to hit the numbers.
This is a really delightful fall/winter beer. Malt is in line with the bitterness. The color is beautiful, I recommend cold crashing this one to remove haze. Also adding a bit extra cinnamon at serving time adds a nice touch. The spices hit the nose at first but you get a slight taste of them at the end. This has become a great beer with age and I plan on making it again next year.
Steep specialty grains for 3045 minutes at 154 °F (68 °C)
Get a second pot to 165 °F (74 °C) in a large kitchen pot for steeping water.
After steeping, remove bag and let drip dry for a minute. Then add steeping water and dried malt extract to brewpot. Bring to a boil, add hops and boil for 60 minutes. With 15 minutes left in the boil, add Irish moss and liquid malt extract, stirring well to ensure it dissolves completely. After primary is finished, rack to secondary and add spices.
If I would change anything I would slightly bump up the cinnamon and nutmeg amounts. I did 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/8 tsp nutmeg in the secondary but feel like the beer could use double the amount. Also it was difficult to mix the spices in secondary so be sure to dissolve in water beforehand.
