What water profile do you recommend for the Holiday Ale?
Kevin Chorzelewski on Sep 19, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I used CA100- Mg 18- Na 20- So 75, Cl 75 and HCO3 150... I was going for a balanced water and good amount of Cl since I ended up adding some pine needles and the high bicarbs made it fantastic...
Why does this recipe have the prop 65 warning?

Split the batch in half
I brewed half the batch as directed except I added 1 oz of sweet orange peel at the end of the boil and 8 oz of DME which brought the ABV up to 7.2. The other half which I called a Winter Ale, I excluded the 2 oz of Black Roasted and only used half the spices. The Holiday Ale came out good for the Holidays with notes of raisin, fig, dates and orange peel. The second batch came out as a nice easy drinking Winter Ale.

Holiday Staple
Great recipe. Touch of sweetness and just enough spice to make it seasonal. This is my third time with this kit and it always pleases.
Great color.

Holiday Ale
I’ve never made anything like this before. It’s quite tasty and fun to share this Holiday season. I’ve bottled in green bottles with yellow caps and used as gifts, all well received.

Great holiday brew
Fantastic brew! I’ve avoided holiday ales in the past because they end up being a disaster of pungent flavors. They seem to be a beer that ends up hanging around too long after the holidays, but I caught this one on sale as an all grain and decided to give it a go. Just a subtle flavor of spices to let you know what it is with a rich backbone and exceptional finish on the palate. My favorite beer on my four taps right now. I also dropped out of all grain for a while but this beer came out so good I’m giving it another go around. Highly recommend giving this one a try!

Not that great
Wasn’t a big fan of this one. Maybe I just messed it up. Tasted like soap at the finish. Wasn’t that spiced either.

Not TOO spicy
I really dislike spiced beers of any style and was hesitant to try this one but I will say that the spices are not overwhelming as most commercial seasonal beers usually are. It's very much like a good brown ale with the spices added. I think the amount included in the kit was just right (for me). It might even be good without the spices!

A good beer for Christmas!
I made this for my Christmas party and it was a hit! The only thing I had to do was up the spices.

Real Easy Drinker
I know a lot of commercial holiday ales go over the top on spices, but this is a really nice mellow spice flavor. I like everything about this beer and it's restored my faith in spiced beers. For reference I went with Wyeast (British II) - 1335
