Hey there, I'm looking to do an English style brown ale, my inspiration being Hobbes, my chocolate lab. This is my first partial mash (my extract brews haven't really wowed me...) so I want to make sure everything shakes out ok. Here's what I have...
4lbs Briess Golden Light DME
3lbs Briess 2-row caramel malt 60L
8oz chocolate malt
8oz oatmeal
1 oz Fuggles hops - 60 min
.5 oz East Kent Goldings - 10 min
1 Packet Windsor Ale yeast
I'll mash the grains for 60 min at 153, and do a 1 hour boil
Your thoughts? It seems a bit simple to me at the moment, but I'm going for something more malty with a silkiness and a bit of that roasty chocolate...any thoughts are appreciated!
