No beer €˜tis the season quite like a glass of Holiday Ale. This malty, deep red ale is spiced with powdered ginger, powdered cinnamon, and powdered allspice for a lovely holiday baked goods character. Distinctly spiced but not overwhelming.

Fermentation Requirements

  • Fermenter: Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace for a healthy 5 gallon fermentation.
  • Temperature control: Keep fermentation steady and follow the yeast or instruction-sheet temperature guidance for the cleanest result.
  • Packaging: Confirm fermentation is complete before bottling or kegging, then package carefully to avoid oxygen pickup.

Brewing Notes for Best Results

  • Steep specialty grains gently: Hold the steeping range steady and avoid squeezing the grain bag hard, which can pull extra tannin into the wort.
  • Add extract carefully: Remove the kettle from direct heat while stirring in malt extract so it dissolves cleanly without scorching on the bottom of the kettle.
  • Ferment cleanly: Stable fermentation temperature matters as much as the ingredient bill. Keep the fermenter in the yeast’s recommended range for a cleaner, more predictable beer.
  • Package with care: Confirm final gravity is stable before bottling or kegging, then minimize splashing and oxygen exposure to protect malt and hop character.
