Winter Warmer Recipe
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2022 4:50 pm
Hey there y'all I'm looking to brew a winter warmer as my last brew for the year sometime in December and would appreciate some feedback on the recipe I've created. I have built the following recipe for a 3gal batch after looking through various other recipes on the internet. The idea was basically build strongish ale that will have some sweetness and malt character that will be complemented by the addition of spices.
Malts
-------------------------------
Maris Otter - 8lb (72.7%)
Victory Malt - 1.5lb (13.6%)
Caramel 60L - 12oz (6.8%)
Special B - 8oz (4.6%)
Chocolate Rye - 4oz (2.3%)
OG (assuming 71% mash efficiency) : 1.074
Hop Schedule
--------------------------------
1oz Willamette (5.5% AA) @ 45 mins ~ 22.1 IBUs (according to Brewfather)
1oz Willamette (5.5% AA) @ 20 mins ~ 14.6 IBUs
Total IBUs: ~37
Let me know what y'all think! I don't have exact numbers for the spices yet, but I will be making a tincture and then adding the appropriate amount after fermentation. The spices I am thinking of adding though are some combination of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and cardamom. Also let me know if there's any other information I should include, thanks!
