Cooking Ingredients for Holiday Ale Recipe

7-1/2 lb Klages malt
1-1/2 lb Crystal malt (90L)
1/4 lb Chocolate malt
1/4 lb Black patent malt
1/2 lb Dextrin powder
1/2 c Molasses
1 ts Cardamom
1 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Ginger
Grated rinds of 4 oranges
1-1/2 oz Nugget hops (boil)
1 oz Willamette hops (finish)
Whitbread ale yeast
1/2 c Molasses (priming)

Holiday Ale Preparation

Mash grains. Add dextrin (I was out of Cara-pils), 1/2 cup molasses, spices, boiling hops, and orange peel. Boil 1 hour. Add finishing hops in last few minutes. Strain into fermenter. Cool and pitch yeast. During the boil the spices combined with orange peel and malt made the house smell really good-kind of like a beer fruit cake. After smelling and tasting the wort, I think I”ve identified one of the secret ingre- dients in Anchor”s Christmas Ale: cardamom. I”m guessing they use 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon per five gallons.
