Hi Everyone,
Brand new brewer here and I've chosen to make a variation of a honey nut brown ale. My local brew supply place has a generic receipt that I am using as my start. I really like the Mammoth double nut ale, so I want to add whatever it takes to get it a little closer to that flavor. So, I started looking at the ingredients and most of the clone receipts call for "brown and chocolate malts." However, my receipt uses amber malts & caramel hops and none of the other ingredients say brown of chocolate. My question is, is caramel or amber the same thing as brown?
