Don't try this at home!



Brown Ale.

I wanted to make something with brown malt...something historic-ish. Something like those porters were actually drinking way back when.

The guy from Thomas Fawcett cautioned me that a couple pounds of brown malt would be plenty.  You'd think a guy would listen to the maltster, wouldn't you?






Mash @ 152
  • 1 T Gypsum
  • 3 # Brown Malt
  • 3 # Munich
  • 3 # 6 row (to convert the brown)
  • 1 # aromatic
  • 1 # 40L crystal
Boil
  • 0.5 oz Calypso - first wort
  • 0.5 oz Calypso - 15 min
Cool and pitch 1 sachet hydrated SafAle S-04
OG 1.070
FG 1.015

Now THIS is a damned serious beer. It's like a rip-your-face-off porter / stout thing...

You know how a triple IPA slams you with hops? Well this is the same concept but slamming you with malt. Brown malt.
