Holofernes' Demise

Holofernes' Demise

Seasonal/Winter Specialty Spiced Beer • Partial Mash • 6 gal

The BJB

This is an alternative version of Mr. Kurz' recipe "Judah Maccabee's Spiced Porter." I used his recipe as a base for the spices, but went to all grain, and changed the yeast, hops, and grains according to taste and availability. Thanks Mr. Kurz!

  • Danstar Windsor

    Danstar Windsor

    Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).
