Notes

Wyeast 9097 Old Ale Yeast for the higher alcohol content tolerance

Added 1 lb of brown sugar and a pint of blackstrap molasses (unsulfured) at beginning of boil with flame out (to avoid

Added spices and orange peel at beginning of boil, had higher amounts so the flavor comes through after fermentation.

No starter used for yeast (maybe next time), added yeast nutrient to compensate.

Will be fermenting till FG, might add lactose depending on taste after boil.
