So I really wanted to brew a hazelnut brown ale and so I took a trip to my local brew shop. They had discount brew kits from BSG (never tried them before) so i purchased their American Brown Ale kit and I purchased a small bottle of hazelnut essence.
I brewed the beer yesterday and it is now fermenting very well in my fermentation chamber.
My question is the IBU's for the BSG kit state 85-95. That seems high to me for a brown ale. Is that high?
Should I consider just brewing this normal and adding the hazelnut essence to another brown ale with lower IBU's later? Or just try it out (the bitterness might work well with a sweet hint)?
