Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 6 pounds of light liquid malt extract
- 1 pound of specialty grains
- 2 ounces of hops
- 1 package of ale yeast
Start by preparing the spices for your spice Christmas ale. Toast the cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and nutmeg in a dry skillet until fragrant. Grate the ginger root and crush the clove.
Step 2: Preparing the Wort
Next, prepare the wort (unfermented beer) by steeping the specialty grains in 2 gallons of water at 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Remove the grains and bring the wort to a boil.
Step 3: Adding the Spices
Once the wort is boiling, add the toasted spices, ginger, and clove. Let the mixture boil for 10 minutes before removing it from the heat.
Step 4: Adding the Malt Extract and Hops
Add the malt extract to the pot and stir until fully dissolved. Return the mixture to a boil and add the hops. Boil for an additional 60 minutes.
Step 5: Cooling and Fermenting
After the boil, cool the wort quickly by placing the pot in an ice bath. Once cooled, strain the wort into a fermenter and top up with enough water to reach five gallons. Add the ale yeast and let it ferment for 10-14 days.
Step 6: Bottling and Aging
Once fermentation is complete, transfer the beer into a bottling bucket and add priming sugar. Bottle the beer and let it age for 14-21 days.
Final Thoughts
Making your own spice Christmas ale is a fun and rewarding experience. This recipe is just a starting point, so feel free to experiment with different spices and hops to create your own unique holiday brew. Serve chilled and enjoy the festive flavors of the holiday season. Happy brewing!
