Notes

Feel free to sub some crystal or chocolate rye in place of crystal/chocolate barley malt for a little extra spice. Magnum hops can sub for columbus. Also feel free to use any english yeast depending on desired attenuation/flocculation. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves can also be added in moderation for extra spice.
