Grandmaster Brewer
My nephew wants to brew with me. He wants to make a Winter Warmer. He also wants it to be a Lager. I do not have any recipes for a Winter Warmer Lager. I'm going to buy the ingredients as a Christmas gift for him, so that I have something to wrap for Christmas Day. He want's something strong, but lager style clean, with spices (such as Christmas type spices).
He is going to brew an Ale of some type with me in the near future. I told him that I couldn't really brew the Winter Warmer until the temperatures drop enough that I'm guaranteed that I can hold lager fermentation temperatures in my garage. I suggested we make the ale soon and wait until at least after Christmas to make the Winter Lager, when the weather tells us that we can make it happen. This waiting was more of a ploy on my part to turn the Winter Warmer into a Christmas gift.
Any suggested recipes would be greatly appreciated.
