Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar

[Desert_Sky]

HazelNut Brown Nectar


HazelNut Brown Nectar is a nutty twist to a traditional European Brown Ale. Dark brown in color with a hazelnut aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a smooth malty finish. Dedicated to the homebrewer in each of us--the homebrewer who inspired this creation is Chris Studach, a friend of Rogue's resident wizard John Maier, who added a Northwest twist to the classic style by adding hazelnuts for the host homebrew at the 1993 American Homebrewers Association convention. Chris put the nut in nut brown!

Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale is a blend of Great Western 2-row Pale, Munich, Hugh Baird Brown, Crystal 80 and Crystal 135, Carastan, and Beeston Pale Chocolate malts; hazelnut extract; Perle and Saaz hops. HazelNut Brown Nectar is available in a 22-ounce bottle, a special commemorative 3-litre bottle with ceramic swing-top, and on draft.

Measurements: 14 degrees Plato, IBU 33, apparent attenuation 73.6, Lovibond 36.

Ok this is going on my to do list right after the BVIP. Does anyone already have the percentages on the recipe?

 

[Curtis]

I like this beer as well, cant help u out, sorry. Would like a recipe if it shows up.

 

[ill.literate]

I didn't like this beer... but, I believe it's found in BYO's clone recipe edition.

Unfortunately, my copy is at home.

 

[zoebisch01]

Yeah, it is ill.iterate. If I remember I can post it when I can.

 

[Willsellout]

AHB also has a spot on recipe if you wanted to buy the kit.

is there any way I can get that recipe without having to buy the kit?

 

[Willsellout]

My buddy brewed it, I can see if I can get it from him...although he did an extract+steep recipe not an AG version.

The kit shouldn't be that much more expensive than buying everything separately..then you would have their recipe for it.

That's an excellent dessert beer.

 

[ScubaSteve]

Anyone got an AG recipe for this? I had a pint at the YardHouse this weekend and it was frickin' amazing!

 

[Steiner]

Funny you should say that. I had a pint at my local Yardhouse as well this weekend. I like most of the stuff I've had that Rogue puts out.

 

[aekdbbop]

I just had this last night for the first time...

the server brought it out after i asked for a hazed and infused, and left...

I tried it and loved it! I had to hunt her down to ask her what it was..

[aekdbbop]

do you think with that recipe, you can add the hazelnut at the secondary instead of the keg.. I wanna bottle a few of these before I keg it..

 

[talleymonster]

I absolutely Hate HAZELNUT! But I thought this beer was pretty good. Otherwise I Hate HAZELNUT!

 

[Professor Frink]

Adding the hazelnut in secondary should be fine. I added it at kegging that way I could add it to taste.

Here is the recipe from AustinHomebrew:

Rouge Hazelnut Brown Nectar

0.5 LB Munich Malt
0.25 LB Victory Malt
0.5 LB 120L Crystal
0.5 LB 90L Crystal
0.125LB Chocolate Malt
20 mins @ 155 degrees F

7.0 LB Pale LME

0.75oz Perle @ 60 min
1.0oz Saaz @ 5min

Yeast: White Labs California V
Starter: yes

20 ML Hazelnut liquor at kegging

 

[raceskier]

Has anyone found a source for the Stearns and Lehman Flavor-mate hazelnut flavoring?

 

[Brewtopia]

I know Chris Studach and will be hanging out with his brother Kirk in Portland tomorrow (A great brewer in his own right). I'll see if Kirk knows, or can ask Chris for a good resource for the hazlenut nectar.

 

[Funkenjaeger]

I just had this for the first time a few days ago, and I'm hooked. I couldn't quite imagine ahead of time how well hazelnut would work in beer, but I think it totally 'clicked' with the brown ale, and came out unbelievably smooth. Would be a great dessert beer, and while I think it's a little shy of being sessionable by its very nature of being a flavored beer, I could definitely at least have a couple of them in a session.

20 ML Hazelnut liquor at kegging

Am I correct in assuming that since you mention AHB's recipe includes this 'hazelnut liquor' it's the same as this item which they carry?
http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=505
'Liquor Quick Hazelnut' (which happens to come in a 20mL bottle)

Seems a little pricy for what it is, but at least being at AHB it's easily available, and more than worth it if a clone recipe comes out anywhere near as good as the original...

 

[jts15]

I was searching for a recipe and came across this thread. Thought i would add that I found this page that discusses making your own Hazelnut extract.

[Denny]

Chris is a member of our homebrew club and I have his original partial mash recipe if anyone is interested.

I am VERY Interested. Do tell!

 

[Denny]

Here it is. The hops listed as CFJ-90 are Centennial. At the time, they were so new they didn't have a name yet! Chris woin them as a proze at a homebrew comp. This was the official beer at NHC that year, and Chris brewed and bottled it all himself! It was also where he met John Maier....John liked the beer and the rest is history. Chris's pic is on the bottle (around here, we call it "Bald Guy Brown") and since then John has brewed a couple other of his recipes.

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

FYI, the Flavor Mate has been discontinued. It was a coffee flavor extract if I recall correctly. Some LHBS will also sell flavor extracts, but I'd recommend starting small then bumping up if needed. I did a version of this and used 1oz of flavoring and it was way too much.

What is "Danish Extract?" and is 1338 Alt yeast still available?

 

[Denny]

1338 is still available. Danish extract is extract made in Denmark.... IIRC, it's reasonably high in unfermentables.
