<h2>Notes</h2>
<p>This is an autumn seasonal ale (BJCP 2021, 30B) with spices brewed in September, 2024. Everyone seems intrigued by warm spices in the late fall. Ginger, cinnamon, and caramel flavors are my favorites. </p>
<p>The base recipe is based upon average amounts from <a href="https://www.beer-analytics.com/styles/spiced-beer/autumn-seasonal-beer/" alt="Autumn Seasonal beer analysis from beer-analytics.com" target="_blank">beer-analytics.com</a>. No pumpkin was included in the fermentables to keep this easy. The specialty malt choices were convenient: what I had on hand. 
  <ul>
    <li>Average bitterness: 24 IBU</li>
    <li>Average color: 13 SRM (Note: The above recipe is slightly lower than 13.)</li>
    <li>Original extract: 1.060 (14.7&deg Plato)</li>
    <li>Hops: Magnum 100% (bittering only)</li>
    <li>Malts/sugars: Rahr two-row, Briess crystal 60L, Briess crystal 90L, and brown sugar</li>
  </ul>
</p>
<p>The spice additions are based upon "Gingerbread Ale" from <em>Radical Brewing</em> (Mosher, 2004, p. 169). These are added late in the boil, when about 10 minutes remain. 
  <ul>
    <li>1 tsp (4 g) Cinnamon (dosage: .2 g/l)</li>
    <li>.5 tsp (2 g) ground ginger (dosage: .1 g/l)</li>
    <li>.25 tsp (1 g) allspice (dosage: .05 g/l)</li>
    <li>.25 tsp (1 g) cloves (dosage: .05 g/l)</li>
  </ul>
</p>
<p>The yeast was a repitch of Lutra kveik yeast.</p>
