I've been pondering a raisin nut brown ale, and threw together a recipe for an English Brown.
Brewer's friend seems to think it is in line, style-wise. Any opinions? I've never used special B or Victory. But they seem to be the recommended malts for the flavors I am after. I've also never used Nottingham. I'm a big fan of results I've gotten out of Wyeast 1968, but wanted a cheaper route. And for this style, it didn't seem quite right.
5.5 Gals
8.5 lb Maris Otter (89.45%)
4 oz Crystal 90L (2.6%)
4 oz Special B (2.6%)
4 oz Chocolate (350) (2.6%)
4 oz Victory (2.6%)
1.25 oz Fuggles @60 mins
.37 oz EKG @ 20 mins
4 oz chopped raisins @ flameout
Nottingham Yeast
Per brewers friend:
OG 1.047 FG 1.011 ABV 4.72% IBU 26.91 SRM 17.33
Haven't plugged it into Beersmith yet.
