Notes

The smoothness and drinkability of cream ale with subtle note of chai spices. After fermentation, make a tea from Chai Masala and water. Use restraint adding to secondary to taste. The bitterness from cinnamon and black pepper will add to the perception of total IBUs.

3 Tablespoons of Swad Chai Masala and 3 Cups of Water
