3 gallon boil. Grains steeped at ~150F for 30 minutes. Extract and
Northern Brewer Hops boiled for 60 minutes. Whirfloc added with 20
minutes remaining in the boil. Willamette hops, cinnamon, ginger,
all-spice and Atomic Fireballs added in the final minute of the
boil. The candy melted pretty quickly into the wort. Wort was
chilled and the yeast was pitched.
After aging a few weeks, I entered this brew in our Winter Beer
comptetition. It's not bad. The base is pretty good, but the spices
are a bit much. As advertised the atomic fireballs contributed only
to the aroma and not to the taste. Unfortunately, the ginger and
other spices were just a bit too much.
