Honey Brown

Post by dhempy »

Brewing a Honey Brown this morning (already mashed in at 7:00 am). Gonna drop it over the stout yeast cake from last week. Made a mistake and added 4.5 lbs of german pilsner (grabbed the wrong bag) as basemalt and didn't have any xtal 90 so I split the addition to half xtal 60 and half xtal 120. Small amounts so it will be interesting to see how it goes. Gonna use some of last year's Cascades from the freezer. The honey will be mesquite.

Sounds tasty Dan. I'm thinking of making an american brown as one of my next brews too. It sounds like you've made this before, does the honey flavor come through with only a pound? Why don't you post the recipe in the recipe db? You can upload the promash file directly from the upload recipe link.

Will do .. I'm in the fermenter now. I had to add another pound of honey to hit my OG target so we'll see. Not too much honey flavor in the previous version but this one should have some residual. I'm using home grown Cascades too.

Mostly this is a fun, drinkin' beer so I'm not very concerned about precision.

I'm about to rack my stout onto the raspberries and then pitch the yeast into the brown. After I get those tasks done, I'll post the recipe.
