Red Rider Spiced Seasonal Ale
Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer • Extract • 7.5 gal
A moderate gravity, spiced Christmas Ale. Based on Jamil Zainasheff's Pumpkin Spice Ale - with honey, spice, citrus zest, and ginger additions. This recipe converted my “beer hating” brother in law into a beer drinker. The spice flavors mellow significantly over time. Ferment at 68 degrees F. Final Gravity target: 1.016

Fantastic Spiced Ale

I brewed 7.5 gallons this year & it's fabulous. I was slightly concerned that the fresh ginger would be overwhelming, but it's perfect. It adds nicely to the overall spice character of this beer. It's easy drinking, with a great spice aroma. My only reservation is that I didn't carbonate it quite enough. It must be rough poured to have any head at all, and it quickly fades. We bottle condition, so it's not immediately fixable. Next year I think I'll carbonate to 2.5 volumes instead of 2.
