Notes

http://www.samueladams.com/craft-beers/winter-lager

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 oz. package 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.

YEAST:

WLP833 is my preferred yeast for this beer, but 34/70 is a great dry yeast alternative. Adjust base malt amounts to account for higher attenuation.
