I just had some Samuel Smith Nut Brown the other night. I knew it was the next beer I wanted to make. This recipe looked pretty good and I just picked up the ingredients at the LHBS. I'll update after I make it.

I checked this beer on the 17th of this month and it was still at 1.019. I want it to 1.010 or so, so I gave it a swirl and will be checking it again tomorrow. I don't know, if it's at least 1.015 or 1.012 I'll go ahead and bottle. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks in primary and I figure it will have done what ever it is going to do by then. It smells great and the sample I took tasted good and was pretty clear. Updates soon.
