New Fezziwig Ale, Take 2
Posted by ebrius on October 9, 2008
While I still have the taste fresh in my mind, I figured that I would draw up a second draft of my Christmas Ale, even though this won’t be brewed for probably a year or so:
8lb Dry Light Malt Extract .75lb CaraPils .5lb Canadian Honey Malt .5lb Crystal Malt (80-L) .25lb Crystal Malt (120-L) .5oz Cascade @ 60 .5oz Chinook @ 60 .5oz Chinook @ 30 .5oz Willamette @ 30 .5oz Willamette @ 10 1oz Willamette @ DH All Steeped for 30 minutes after flame out 1 oz Ginger, Grated 3 Oranges, Peeled and Quartered 5 Cinnamon Sticks 3 Whole Nutmegs 4 Whole Cloves Other: 1 tsp Irish Moss @ 15 Yeast: Wyeast American Ale II 1272 Priming Sugar: TBD OG: 1.076, FG: 1.019, ABV: 7.7% IBU: ~55 SRM: 12
Edit: I decided to take out the two pounds of honey and replace it completely with DME, this raises the ABV a little bit, which then lowers the IBUs, color stays about the same
Edit 2: I’m thinking of adding a little vanilla to this, or maybe oak age it to try something a little different.
