Notes

Flavor with tincture at bottling - the flavor, particularly orange, will mellow after 3-4 weeks in the bottle.

Tincture:

Prepare after you pitch the yeast - allow tincture to develop while beer is fermenting.

2-3 3" cinnamon sticks, chopped fine; 1 oz. of chopped fresh ginger; and, 1/2 oz. of bitter orange peel. Place into mason jar and add enough high-quality vodka to cover; add more vodka once spices have soaked up the initial amount.

[3/2023]. This was my least favorite of the winter lager clones. The spices were over the top powerful and made it more of a gingerbread lager. Consider leaving most of the spices out next year or making something different.
