Another 2 beer day for Ryan and me. Not as long of a day since this was from extract.
This is a Southern English Nut Brown. This is not a common style; most nut browns are Northern English. This will be a dark, sweet, low-alcohol beer.
The recipe is adapted from a recipe in Brewing Classic Styles. I subsituted 4 lbs DME for 5 lbs LME, and substituted 4 oz Chocolate + 4 oz Crystal 40 for 6 oz of Pale Chocolate.
Ingredients:
4 lbs Extra Light DME
1 lb Crystal 80 L
10 oz Crystal 120 L
.5 lb Special Roast
4 oz Chocolate Malt
3 oz Crystal 40
4 oz Carafa II
.8 oz US Goldings
Nottingham Dry Yeast
Stepped grains for 45 minutes at 150 degrees F. Added DME, hops. Boiled 60 min.
Pitched yeast starter. Fermenting in the house at around 68 degrees F.
OG: 1.045 (recipe has said 1.041). Slightly high for style.
Color: recipe said would be 26 SRM. Very dark - almost purple.
IBU: 17

This beer turned out very thick and sweet, with a low alcohol content. It was a real treat because this style is virtually non-existent in either the craft or commercial markets.
ReplyDeleteIf this way eBay: A++++ would drink again!
This was definitely one of the more interesting and delicious beers we made. I was very very happy with how tasty it was, this is an awesome beer for anyone who likes sweeter maltier beers (and even for those that don't - its worth a try).
