11B - Nutty Man Brown Ale

Repeat of last years batch. Was great last time, should be great again.
Info:
  • Brewer: Cindy (to shy to post, or maybe just to busy with that beer?!?!)
  • Mash: Steep and Extract
  • Date: 04/11/2008
  • Size: 5 gallons post-boil
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

Process
  • 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.
  • To easy, to tasty!

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
FG: 1.011, right on the low end of style. Could maybe raise the steep temperature a smidge to help that.
