Thanks, that's the route I'm heading now, just with some additional home-toasted malt in there. How did you hop it?

I've been looking all over for my nut brown ale recipe notes, but I've got the suspicion that SWMBO may have thrown them away. But if I remember correctly(I found the notes, and didn't remember the hops correctly) I used 1 oz willamette 60 min, and .5 oz liberty 10 min.

If I changed anything, I suppose it would be a slightly higher a.a. content to balance out the sweetness a little more.
