I’m thinking about getting the Honey Brown Ale extract/specialty grain recipe kit from Austin HomeBrew and modifying it into a Maple Pecan Brown Ale. I’m not sure how many pounds of roasted pecans I should add though . . . any suggestions?
I was also thinking about adding about 4 lbs maple syrup and 15¼ oz brown sugar to bring the original gravity up to around 1.075-1.080 with a potential ABV of around 10% (I like . . . big . . . beers . . . and I can not lie . . .). Do those amounts/calculations sound about right?
Yeast: I’m considering using White Labs California Ale V WLP051, but might end up experimenting with Lalvin D-47. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
