Notes

This beer produces a spicy cookie like nature with lots of ginger flavor and just a bit of bite. Malts should be pronounced and hop bitterness very low after lager aging in low temps.
Process:
Grains steep at 165F. Add Teabags at flameout and leave for 20 minutes. Ferment as close to 69F as possible.
As soon as active fermentation is done, the beer must go into 50F or less lagering shelter. The temperature in the lagering shelter should not drop to 32F. This will produce buttery flavors and a slick texture that is not pleasant. It's fine to remove the beer from the shelter during freezing nights and return it during the warmer temps of the day.
