General Info

Brewed for the RHBC's 2013 Iron Buddy Brew, where the resulting brews must contain three or more of the following:

  • Cumin
  • Rice Krispy Treats
  • Oranges
  • Pomegranate Juice
  • Sweet Cherries
  • Maple Syrup
  • Zingers
  • Doughnuts
  • Nutmeg
  • Raspberries
Paired with Chris Huser, we decided to use maple syrup, nutmeg, orange, and maple flavored doughnuts.

 

Procedure

OG is without maple syrup, which will be added at secondary.

Special Procedures

Add doughnuts the last 10 minutes of the boil. Made a goopy mess. Only in mash for any time in the future.

Add the maple syrup at secondary.

Make a tincture of the orange, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in vodka. Dose at kegging to taste.
