I brewed a spiced winter ale at my wife's request Friday evening. Hopefully it will turn out well. I thought about making a winter warmer, but not being a fan of them, I thought this lower gravity recipe was a better choice. The spice additions made the house smell wonderful. I used my single kettle e-BIAB setup with a 2 gallon "dunk sparge" and it was perhaps my easiest brew day ever. I hit all my numbers on the dot and could not have been more pleased. S-04 took off like a rocket by the next morning.
