Hi everyone,
I'm brewing a beer for the parents over Christmas and they requested a brown ale. I'm thinking about doing something other than the standard crystal plus 3 or 4% chocolate, but nothing too crazy that they may not take to. I appreciate your thoughts on the following, or any ideas for modifications.
BROWN ALE / 5.5 gal / 1.052 / 5% / 25ish IBU
86% 2 Row
3% C40
4% C120
3.5% Black patent
3.5% Flaked Barley
Bittering hops at 60
1/2 oz. flavor hops @ 10
WY London ESB
Shooting for easy drinking, full flavored, with some toffee and dark fruit flavors. All thoughts suggestions appreciated!
