Hi folks. So my brewing equipment is set to arrive today (I've been using Mr. Beer) and I was hoping for some feedback on a recipe for my first 5-gallon batch.
I wanted to brew a brown ale, but didn't come across a recipe that was quite what I was looking for, so I thought I'd just buy some ingredients...
4 lbs Munton's Amber DME
3 lbs Munton's Dark DME
1 lb honey
1 oz Bramling Cross hops
1 oz UK Fuggle hops
White Labs California Ale yeast
...I don't like bitter beer, and from what I've read, UK Fuggle is good for flavoring without bittering. I thought I'd add the Bramling hops either halfway through or toward the end.
Thoughts on these ingredients? Tips on how to best utilize them? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
