It’s time for me to get started on a Christmas Ale. I do not typically like spices and stuff so I’m thinking a Wee Heavy or strong ale of some sort. Dark and malty. Nothing fancy ingredient wise. This may or may not fit a style of a Christmas ale but oh well
Maris Otter 88%
Caramel 60 10%
Roasted or chocolate 2% (which is better)?
Hops I have Challenger, EKG, and Target I also have other not British hops; Magnum, Hallertau, and Northern brewer. I figured around 25-30 IBU which may be a touch for the style but should be too far off.
I’ll use S-04 fermented in the low to mid 60s.
