Add apples, raisins, and molasses at 15 min with the spices. Fruit should be chopped finely. You can also sub apples and raisins for other dried fruit to taste.

If subbing for fresh fruit you will have to increase the amounts.

I have specifically registered to leave this comment. This ale liked my wife, but she does not like beer. Strong, warm, fragrant, with a pleasant aftertaste. Thanks for the great recipe!

When do you add the raisins, apples and mollases? No real direction for that step in the recipe

liriodendron • 12/04/2018 at 06:37pm
Add fruit at 15 min with the spices in a hop sock. You can sub for any other fruit fresh or dried to taste.

How do you use apples? Dried like a raisins? Chopped?

liriodendron • 11/08/2019 at 02:41pm
Suur the amounts listed for fruit are for dried. You can use fresh if you prefer but you will have to up your amounts. I use a dried fruit medley from the grocery store that has apple, pear, raisins, peach, and apricot because it's easy. But you can certainly use what ever you prefer.

I keg my beer so I'm curious... How long did you leave the in the fermenter? What is the conditioning time before it's ready to drink? Also, after the boil, do you recirculate prior chilling?

liriodendron • 11/29/2022 at 03:36pm
Because its a heavier beer I leave it at least a month in the fermenter and I think I moved it to a secondary for 2 weeks after that to free up my fermenter. I give a vigorous stir before chilling to get a whirlpool going and get a much trub away from my spigot as I can. Ill let it bottle condition for 6-8wks before drinking. typically i will brew this in late august so its ready for Christmas. Its a stronger beer with strong flavors patience is your friend.
