Hey guys, first post, but I've been reading for a few months now.
I want to do a nut brown that has lots of nut taste and I have heard a lot about using Victory to accomplish this. Using Victory would also be an excuse to brew my first partial mash. Here's what I was thinking:
1 lb. Maris Otter
1 lb. Victory
1 lb. Crystal 60
8 oz. Chocolate
Partial mash at around 153F for one hour, then
6 lbs. light LME
1 oz. Cascade (5.9% pellet) 60min.
1 oz. Glacier/Williamette/Fuggles/Goldings 2min.
Nottingham dry yeast
If I go with this recipe, I will probably shoot for 5.5 gallons, since the OG is a little high at just five gallons and I have been annoyed at ending up with less than five gallons at bottling due to racking and testing losses on my previous batches.
Another note to add is that my first batch of HB ever was a Nut Brown Ale kit. It has a hint of the nutty taste that I am after, but too much roasty flavor. The kit included a few oz. of roasted barley, which I have left out of this recipe. I'd like to do this with just grains, rather than adding some type of nut flavoring.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for the forum and the advice (in advance)!
