Hey guys, I'm looking to brew a small (2 gal) batch of an English nut brown ale soon for a friend of mine. He wants to try something that REALLY gets the nutty idea across. I started messing around in Beer Smith and put this together for the base recipe:
1 lb Amber DME
1 lb Light DME
.15 lb Chocolate Malt (steeped)
.4 oz Fuggles (60)
.4 oz Fuggles (5)
White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale (just noticed -- anyone think that's a reference to something else English?)
Based on the BS descriptions, those ingredients should have nutty characteristics, but as a fan of brewing things a bit out of style, does anyone have any suggestions for additives to amp it up a bit? Maybe something like an almond or pecan extract? I'm thinking some honey malt might be good too.
