What to add to a Nut Brown Ale?

SevenFields · Nov 6, 2013

I purchased 2 Nut Brown Ale kits during the last NB sale. The first one I brewed I simply added 1lb of brown sugar. For the 2nd batch I am looking for some interesting ideas to change it up a bit. I have thought about Pecans but does anyone have any other suggestions??? thanks

Dates go well in a brown. Or some bottled peach or cherry flavor maybe?

Molasses, Biscuit Malt (would need to be mashed), Clove, Vanilla Bean, Coffee Bean, Cocoa Nibs.

Thanks for the ideas. I am now thinking about adding 1/2 cup of Honey Bourbon

How did it do?

I am brewing the same kit tomorrow and will either:

Add 1lb brown sugar to the boil

OR

Add oak chips soaked in bourbon/rum/Stranahan's whiskey to a secondary.

Thoughts??

I've used hazelnut extract and I've also used real hazelnuts lightly roasted then crushed and put in primary. It's good.
