Notes

At 0min boil add 1g nutmeg and allspice; 8g Ceylon cinnamon; 4g powdered ginger and vanilla extract

After Primary add 1.4kg dried fruit (raisin, apricot, cherries... whatever) and the zest of two oranges and two whole cloves. Pour boiling water over it and let cool and plump. Ferment with this for two more weeks. Then rack off the fruit, wait to settle then bottle/keg. Age 6 months or more.


Notes: Prepare the secondary ingredients IN the carboy and pour the boiling water in. It is difficult adding fruit into the small opening of a glass carboy. OR I may try blending it all - the small bits kept clogging the wine thief. With all the fruit left, I only packaged 17.3L. Still good, though!

Tried after 6 months - may reduce the orange and up the vanilla. Maybe even a "maltier" addition to make it bread like.
