Notes

Reduced the grain bill of this Christmas Ale for more easy to drink home brew (so we're not all sloshed after one glass!)

Spice Mix (added during whirlpool):
0.5 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Cinnamon
0.25 tsp Ginger
0.25 tsp Nutmeg


Strike water 64 C added grain and stirred at 30 min for 60 min boil
Sparge water (78 C) measured 10 litre and dumped in over colander and strained for 20 mins (total 26 litre)
Brought to the boil 100 C (added 6 drops of Foam Axe while bringing to the boil)
Added first addition of hops at boil
Boiled with the lid off down to approx 23 litre
Place immersion chiller in wort last 20 mins of boil
Add Whirlfloc and yeast nutrient 10 mins left of boil
Turned pump on and whirl pool for 10 mins
Add treacle and stir in during whirlpool
Add spice mix
Turned chiller on during rest of 20 mins

Transferred to another keg and let sit for a month
