Notes

A high-conversion all-grain fly sparge adaptation of Charles' Great Lakes Christmas Spiced Ale Clone recipe.

Per Charles' Recipe:
I call this one Weihnachtsbier which is Christmas Beer in German. You will be delighted with the results of this recipe. resist temptations to throw in more honey in than the recipe says. Too much honey will make the beer too dry and more alcohol forward than it needs to be. I looked up how to make cinnamon or ginger tea, which is what we are doing in the wort, and it seems that putting them in at 15 minutes left in the boil and leaving them in for 15 minutes after flame out makes the best sense. The video I made on YouTube says 60 minutes but I've changed it since I made that video. Great Holiday beer. Cheers !
