I recently picked up a 55 lb sack of marris otter from my friends at Lazy Magnolia brewing company in Kiln Ms. Does anyone have a good brown ale recipe that I can try with my new find? Thanks in advance!
Thanks brewpilot, I was thinking of maybe lighter crystal (30-37 L) or a caramel malt at maybe .5 lbs or 1 lb for a try. I like the fuggles followed by cascade for aroma
, what do you think?
Sounds great, and Id probably use some nottingham... maybe throw in some vienna for some maltyness as well?? .5lbs light crystal and .5 vienna or munich...
I use it alot in place of standard 2-row. Supposedly it's extremely close to Golden Promise, which is hard to come by. Sub for 2-row in any recipe that looks good. The slightly nutty flavor goes well with English hops IMO. I like to toast .25lb of it for hoppy american ales.
How about an American Brown:
9lb Maris Otter
1lb 120L Crystal
.5lb Honey malt
.25lb Chocolate malt
1oz Northern Brewer @60 min
2oz Cascade @5 min
1oz Cascade Dry-Hopped
The brewery is right around the corner from the home of the legendary Southern Miss quarterback Brett Favre. I think he went on to do something else also but it escapes me at the moment. Lazy Magnolia on the other hand is Mississippis first and only legal brewery which makes the world reknown southern pecan brown ale. Winner of a bronze medal at the world beer cup.
Oh, if SWMBO did not reguate my spending, I could get so crazy with this "hobby". This week is a first, one brew in the primary, one just bottled... I have so much beer, but I want more!!!!!
