Notes

Our winter warmer came out really well last year, so we've decided to basically re-brew the recipe. This is our first re-brew since starting brewing in 2013, so we're pretty pumped to see how it'll come out on the new system.

1/30/16: I just wrote a bunch of stuff but it apparently decided not to save. Basically, we changed systems since we last made this. The beer itself has generally remained the same. It's a little thinner and less spicy. Still works really well. Smoke character has remained. Probably increase the cinnamon and nutmeg next time we make this. We'll probably make this every Winter because it's so dialed-in. Good stuff that needs very few fixes to be excellent. Proud of it.
