I have an Amnerican brown recipe that I really like that’s won some awards, but I dunno about the “nut” part.
Not a problem, I would really appreciate your recipe if you do not mind publishing it.
Cheers!
There are several in the wiki, a couple of them Denny’s: Site Not Found
An American Brown and an English Brown are pretty distinct, though. It’s probably best to sit down with a pint of Cabin Fever and a copy of the style guidelines and figure out which is closer to what you want.
My recipe is
8.5 or 9 lb 2 row
1 lb Crystal 120L
.5 lb Victory
.25 lb Chocolate
.5 oz Columbus @60 min
1 oz EKG @15 min
1 oz Williamette @5 min
American Ale yeast
Here’s the link to mine…
I looked on New hollands Website.
They say burnt carmel dark fruit and raisin flavors…Special B, English Dark Crystal, or C120 are likely here.
They say rye…so maybe a couple pounds of rye.
It has more of a malty sweet flavor so Id lean toward Maris Otter for the base.
English Chocolate is an obvious choice for the chocolate notes and color.
Roast—Victory perhaps?
Its atleast a start! Id try something like this(and I apologize I dont have a calculator in front of me for gravity and such.
6% alch
Shoot for an OG around 1.065 or so
Maris Otter 10-12 lbs
Rye Malt- 2 lbs or so
Victory Malt- 2 lbs or so
Chocolate Malt-3/4 lbs
English Dark Crystal- 1/2 lbs.
Maybe London ESB or West Yorkshire yeast. I dont remember the hop character much and havent had the beer in a while to even take a stab at it.
