Christmas is coming up, and I'd like to make a dark warmy spiced beer to celebrate it. I'm still getting to grips with producing my own recipes, so I've tried to make one using bits of other recipes I've seen. Any criticism and help would be much appreciated.
Batch size: 11L (boil of about 13L)
Fermentables
2kg Maris Otter (69%)
250g Biscuit malt (8.6%)
200g Chocolate malt (6.9%)
250g of Simpsons Double Roasted Crystal (8.6%)
200g of Molasses (black syrup I'll buy from the supermarket) (6.9%)
Hops
7g Northern Brewer (9.3%) 60 mins
7g Summit (16.6%) 60 mins
10g Northern Brewer (9.3%) 10 mins
10g Northern Brewer (9.3%) flameout
I looking to add some spices as well; cinnamon, cloves, ginger, etc. The usual Christmassy spices. What would you recommended?
