That makes sense. I don't mind some maltiness but I am kinda worried that using 100 percent red malt will mute alot of hop aroma and flavor. I really want superb head retention

That's pretty similar to what I'm wanting. How did u mash? Just at 153 for an hour?

What hops are you using to dry hop with? On their site it says Simcoe and centennial. Late additions are Simcoe and cascade at 1 min?

I was kinda leaning the same way. What hops you thinking?

Session able, I like brown ales,Porter's, red ales, stouts more so than belgians. I was thinking brown ale with mulled cider spices, bourbon barrel stout with vanilla and cinnamon or something with some spruce tips and spices

Looking for a good holiday/Christmas brew to get going. What y'all recommend? Was looking at Austin homebrew site and they have some interesting ones. I love abita Christmas ale! Prolly my favorite brew. Anyone have a clone? I also love Sam Adams holiday porter. I also like some spiced ales.
