    Hey all! Been a long time - maybe 2 years! I moved to a place in the city (Chicago) and it was difficult to brew and I didn't want to burn down the building with a turkey fryer :p. But I moved a little outside the city and have a back patio and alleyway/lot to brew and just started back up this month! I'm glad to be back and just started with an extract with specialty grains to get my feet wet. Problem is I forgot the recipe I followed and my computer with Beersmith crashed :S can anyone help me identify?

    Recipe had (er... I used lol):

    4 lbs light LME
    4lbs light/extra light DME
    1 lb crystal 80L
    .5 lb chocolate

    Boiled 1 hour
    1 hour - 1 oz. Tettnanger (I think, around 13 IBU)
    15 min - 1oz. Williamette (around 5 IBU)
    5 min - .25 oz. Williamette and 1 oz. Nugget (both around 5 IBU)

    Used Wyeast Irish Ale (don't remember the number)

    I really appreciate any help you guys can offer and I'm looking forward to sticking around for a while and I'll step the game back up to all-grain for my next brew

    Thanks everyone!

    Edit - I should add that in the secondary it looks dark (but not stout dark), and running through the syphon, it had more of a golden/brown look)

    Looks like a nice brown ale to me.

    Yeah, I was going to say some sort of lightly-hopped English/Irish Brown or Porter. Or something. :)
