Rogue's Hazelnut Brown Nectar

Yeah Rich, I'd gladly mail you some too. It's the least I could do for the beer glasses that you snagged us the other night

No reason that shouldn't work. I think the only difference in extracts is in whether they are natural or artificially flavored. This one looks like a quality natural flavored hazelnut extract.

Oh no worries! I snagged extra glasses for that very purpose. I'm glad I was able to give them to you guys!

Well I'll keep them in mind.

EDIT - I just looked at the NW Extract site and I'm not sure you can buy small quantities from them at retail. Might want to check with your LHBS for a substitute hazelnut extract.

You are correct. They E-mailed me today and they only sell large quantities to businesses. I'm not worried though. I might just order some from Faerie's Finest. I'm thinking about brewing this one in a week and a half. I figure I don't need the extract until I keg it so no hurry.

Thanks for the help Brewtopia!!!

Ya'll think that WLP100 California Ale yeast would work well w/ this clone?

OMG How did I miss this thread?!?!

Hazelnut Brown is *the* beer that turned me on to Rogue. LOVE it like crazy.

You can bet I'll be trying this clone ASAP!!!!!!! Thanks very much Rich, for bringing it up, and Brewtopia, for the inside "scoop"!!! You guys rock my world!

Can't find in anywhere in Madison! :-(

OOPS - nevermind - found it!

I absolutely hate this beer. The hazelnut tastes like extract to me and it is not something I want in a beer at all. I know tons of people enjoy it, but I just can't deal.

+1 to this! Tried this at a movie tavern and I've got 2 bombers waitin' for me at home!!

 

[Grinder12000]

I bit the bullet and tried Hazelnut Brown Nectar this weekend - WOW!

When I purchased bomber the store clerk asked if I had ever had it before and I said know. He said I would not be disappointed and I have to admit - I LOVED it!!!

MUCH better room temperature then cold.

I will certainly tried every Rogue now and I appreciate Rogue for listing the malts and other tidbits on the bottle. I wil respond to their kindness with more purchases AND I'll brew some on my own.

This is the beer that made me want to learn to brew. I can't find it anywhere around here...closest is an hour away in Nashville at the Flying Saucer (can't TOUCH $2.50 pint nights!).

I love...repeat...LOVE this beer. The Rogue Brewery is on my list of places to see before I die. Love the American Ale and the Dead Guy too...

 

[Chriso]

Holy heck, does the $2.50 include Rogue H.B.N.? Because I'm payin' $6.95 for a 22oz here!

 

[Deacon1856]

Yep. When they have it, it's $2.50. Best deal EVER.

SWMBO and I stopped at the Rogue Pub in PDX last night for a beer (or three) and they sampled the Hazelnut Brown. Needless to say I had 2 of them (after the dry hopped Red). I really enjoyed it. They also have a hazelnut rum...wonder if using that for a little flavor and extra kick would work.

 

[Diablotastic]

Yeah this is an amazing brown...gonna give this one a whirl too

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

Wanted to bring this one back up, as I think I'm going to pull the trigger this weekend on this bad boy. Has anyone tried the recipe Don posted? Any luck finding hazelnut extract?

Kilted Brewer,

Did you ever brew this recipe? How'd it turn out? Did you use the faerie's finest extract?

Thanks a lot, this is one of my favorite beers and I wanna find a good clone.

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

mad...I didn't use Faerie's but used Brewcraft's extract....and used way too much. It was all Hazelnut. Beyond that the recipe was darn close.

 

[skunkmeister]

I am trying this recipe. I have it in the fermenter but still need to track down some hazelnut extract to use.

As I'm not planning on using a secondary and as I don't know how much extract I will need to use, I am planning to add the extract, to taste, in the bottling bucket. Is this too late in the process for the addition? I would assume it's not. My real concern is with oxidizing the beer too much as I'd have to do quite a bit of stirring to mix in the extract properly.

I guess the other approach would be to take a gallon of water and add the extract to taste and from that work out how much I would need to add to the primary to get the same result. Probably not the most accurate method but I'd rather under flavor then have too much hazelnutiness.

 

[skunkmeister]

Bottled this last night. Ended up using 2.5 tsp of the faerie's hazelnut extract for 3.5 gallons of beer. Everything tasted spot on, though a little the thin side I felt. OG 1.051, FG 1.011. 4 weeks in primary and then bottled. Will try one in three weeks.

 

[carnevoodoo]

Have I chimed in on this thread? I'm too lazy to look. This beer sucks. The fake hazelnut flavor can suck it.
