I'm just taking my first swig. It's only been a few days on the gas and needs more carbonation, but dang, sir! This is one mighty fine Nut Brown!! This is going to be a staple on my tap. Good job.

Thanks. I'm glad it turned out for you.

I've brewed this a few times with minor variations. It's been great every time.

I agree I give this one a 5 star rating... Very tasty.. As I sit here sipping one I can say I love the silky smoothness that the oatmeal gives this one and the hearty nut brown flavor. Very easy and very tasty recipe Lil' Sparky! Thanks for sharing!

I might brew this up!

Question on ingredients... A great deal of Nut Browns I have tasted have a fruity quality about them, I know this comes from the munich malt that is added. My question is I have seen a great deal of recipes that don't added the Munich Malt, is it necessary to have that fruity quality?

**Lil' Sparky** · 07-22-2008, 04:48 PM

Hmm. I've brewed variations of this using some munich or vienna malt. I don't know that I'd describe the difference as fruity. I'd say it probably adds a little residual maltiness/sweetness and can add to a fuller/thicker mouthfeel. It really depends on what you're shooting for I guess.

shagington · 07-22-2008, 06:30 PM

Oh ok. Great! Yea I brewed a Nut Brown a few months ago, but didn't added any Munich and just a tad too much Chocolate malt. It was very roasty toasty and nutty, a little too chocolaty and definitely there was a small lacking in residual sweetness and body. I see you have Flaked Oats in yours, is that for body?

**Lil' Sparky** · 07-22-2008, 07:11 PM

Yes. I think the oats add a a smooth creamy mouthfeel. They actually add a nice touch in a lot of different kinds of recipes. They can also help in head retention.
