Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 pounds Klages malt
2 pounds Munich malt
8 ounces Chocolate malt
12 ounces Honey (added to the boil,
Not mashed!)
½ ounce Willamette hops (5.4%) for
45 Min
½ ounce Willamette hops (5.4%) for
30 Min
6 ounces Fresh ginger (peeled,
Diced)
Zest of 4 oranges
(valencia)
1 teaspoon Whole cloves
1 teaspoon Ground allspice
5 Sticks cinnamon (crunched
Up)
Ale yeast

Directions

Use Papazian's Step mash technique: 30 minutes at 130 degrees. 30 min- utes at 155 degrees. Sparge with 175 degree sparge water. Collect about 6 gallons. Boil wort for one hour. Add ½ ounce. of Williamatte at 15 minutes. At 30 minutes add: ½ ounce Williamette, ginger, orange zest, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon. Cool. Pitch yeast. I kept the hop rates pretty low given that the spicing would be best with a sweeter flavor.
