Gingerbread Beer Recipe?
« on: November 03, 2012, 10:56:13 am »
Hi,

Can anyone point me to a good gingerbread beer recipe? I'm an extract or partial mash brewer (sorry I know that is not as cool as all-grain)

Thanks.

I don't have a recipe but I would think you would want a nice scottish or british ale recipe with the addition of molasses and dried ginger. mayb ehunt up a nut brown ale recipe as your base. or if you want something a little stronger, as a winter warmer kind of thing do a scottish -/80 or wee heavy as the base beer and add a lb of molasses and a few grams of dried ginger. Maybe a little vanilla at bottling time. but just a little.
