Hello all,
Yesterday I brewed my first attempt at a Christmas beer and what I had thought up personally, as a recipe (I had some help too from forum members). I was aiming for a Ruby-ish coloured beer but I think my calculation for the required amount of Carared was off.
I was aiming for 23L @ 1050 and nailed it exactly!
Ingredients:
4.8Kg Pale Malt
530g Carared
270g Torrified Wheat
2.5L Water / kg
Mash 90mins
40g Fuggles @40mins
1 Cinammon sticks steeped for 40mins at flameout
1tsp of Nutmeg at flameout
Boil 90mins
What I ended up with was a very Christmassy smelling kitchen but a pale beer. :lol:

Having a brew while I brewed. Spiced Orange Ale (recipe stolen off here, it's very good)
Ingredients
Mash
Mashout
Post boil
Oh and the mash got stuck twice! Hangover brew days are not good!
