All recipes are (unless otherwise specified): 6 gallons post-boil, 70% efficiency, Morey for color, 15% evaporation, 7.27 gallons preboil, Rager IBU, and most hops are in grams not ounces. Most, if not all recipes are primary only (no secondary).

If you brew this, please reply with your results for discussion.

OG 1050
FG
IBUs 20
SRM 17

2.94kg british pale ale 53%
1.44kg amber malt 26%
500g carapils 9%
500g flaked oats 9%
110g Simpson's brown malt 2%
60g Baird's chocolate malt 1% [Jamil usually uses 350l chocolate FYI]

Boil for 75min

10g Horizon 13%AA at 75min
6g goldings 5%AA at 0min

WLP001

Mash at 154F

80g macademia nuts coarsely chopped and toasted to a light brown the night before, covered in saran wrap. Sprinkle your nuts to the top of the mash after dough-in. Wash the salt off your nuts, if salted. Using raw nuts is preferred. Doc used a food processor to chop his nuts. [Toast your nuts carefully and at a low temp, 350F, or they will burn. Take care of your nuts.]

Cool to 59F and pitch, let it raise up to 66F.

Magnum can be substituted for Horizon.

Use a "mild ale" water profile.

Ca "relatively high"
Na "low"
Sulfate at 60ppm.

Even after 4 weeks in the bright tank [a keg with a short pickup tube that is placed in the fridge], the beer was still cloudy. This is due to the nuts used.
 
Brewed this using a partial mash. Substituted Summit hops for the bittering addition. Just tasted one after 3 weeks in the bottle (5 week in primary). Delicious. One of my better ones so far. Used Irish moss as well and it turned out crystal clear. Toasted pale malt in the oven for the amber. Quick recipe below:

3lbs toasted pale malt
1lb pale (2-row)
1lb carapils
1lb flaked oats
1/4 brown
1/8 choco
2oz Macadamia's toasted and added to mash.

75 min - .5oz summti
5 min - EKGoldings

Saf05 with yeastex nutrient

Tried one at 1,2, & 3 weeks. Nut flavor starting to show on last bottle.

Yum

Have not had the original Holgate brew but after another one or two this tastes ALOT like Sierra Nevada's tumbler to me.
 
Sounds like a great recipe. Gotta try this one.

PS I'll be sure to wash the salt of my nuts and I agree, we should all take care of our nuts.
 
This was quite tasty. I used a little more nuts. If ya didnt know they where in there you couldnt really distinguish the flavor. it is barely there. Good balanced Brown ale!
