WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Made this for my wife who really enjoyed New Belgium's Snow day which appears to be discontinued. Was shooting for flavors of caramel, clove, orange peel and somewhat successfully accomplished this. Dry Hop addition added after tasting post fermentation found the beer was too sweet and simple.

Improvements:
Had to add a tincture of nutmeg/allspice/clove settled in whiskey for a week to add an extra punch of spice. Next time I'd add more spice during the boil and double the sweet orange peel. I'd also add some vanilla to taste at the bottling stage.

Closing notes:
Happy with the results, compared to other Winter Warmers this has more citrus/spice. Would like to play with water chemistry to see if the finish can be cleaned up.
