This is a recipe I came up with some time past, but never got around to brewing. I intend to use it for my next batch, whenever that may be.
Newton Pulsifer London Brown Ale
5 lbs. Maris Otter pale ale malt
1 lb. Crystal malt, 120 L
1 lb. Victory malt
8 oz. Special B malt
4 oz. chocolate malt
1 oz. Fuggles pellets (3.6%AA), 60 min.
Wyeast 1187 (Ringwood Ale)
Mash at 156deg. F for 60 minutes.
I'll probably add a small amount of chalk to the mash water as well, I'd have to calculate the exact amount (Atlanta water is fairly soft, and so can use the additional hardness for darker styles).
Any opinions? I am a bit concerned that this grain bill - and the high temperature mash schedule - might be a bit too sweet, even for this style.
