Notes

A rich, spicy Christmas Ale based on an English Brown Ale recipe with seasonal additives.

Cinnamon and ginger go in (bagged) for full length of the boil.

Honey and treacle go in for last 5 mins of the boil at the same time as
the secondary spices.

Sprinkle yeast on top of the aerated wort, leave for 30 minutes, then stir in vigorously.

Ferment for one week at 21 then raise the temp to 23 for the second week to draw out the fruity esters we want for this brew.
