Putting the nuts in the brown ale

[shortz]

I have an American brown ale i would take further but am having trouble getting a nutty flavour into it. Can you help by explaining where in your experience you get that nutty flavour in your brews, besides adding in nuts or nut flour? Thanks folks.

I use about a half pound of victory malt per 5gal batch. Seems to do it for me. Or you could toast some 2-row at 350℉ for 15 minutes.

Try some brown malt, 8 oz. for a five gal. batch.

Or amber malt. Or mild ale malt base. Or some pale chocolate. Or a combination of some of the ingredients mentioned.

I find Crisp Amber to have a very nutty characteristic. Mild ale malt has a subtle nuttiness about it. And Crisp Pale Chocolate, when used in moderation, can impart a roasted nutty flavor. Brown is also a toasted nutty flavor.
