MY pal Tyler has put in a brew request for when he comes back to visit at Christmas, and I’m happily starting my first Honey Brown Ale tomorrow. Modified recipe is below, original courtesy of SueBee Honey:
HONEY NUT BROWN ALE
6 pounds light malt extract
2 pounds Pure Honey
250g crystal malt (20L)
250g chocolate malt
125g dark brown sugar
50g East Kent Golding hops (bittering)
12.5g Willamette hops (flavoring)
1/2 tsp. Irish Moss
1 package Munton’s Ale Yeast
Procedure: Steep grains until wort begins to boil. Remove grains. Add extract, brown sugar and East Kent Golding hops. Boil for 1 hour. Add Honey and Willamette hops in last 15 minutes of boil. Cool wort, and pitch yeast. Primary for 7 to 10 days, secondary for 17-21 days.
Seems a little ironic to have an entry that combines running and beer. Doesn’t get any better than that.
