Brown malt, you say? Interested to know your recipe, unless it's top secret of course.
Of course. I got the recipe from Adam Mills' youtube channel. He's the head brewer at Sonder Brewing in Ohio.

Maris Otter 75.7%
Amber Malt 6.1%
Brown Malt 6.1%
Caramunich I 6.1%
Wheat Malt 6.1%

Magnum 25 ibu at 60 mins.

US-05

This is my third time brewing this. Adam also adds coffee to his, which I tried once, but I prefer a more subtle coffee flavor, which I get using just the malts.

Last night on Cape Breton Island was crazy. Rain and 110km/h (70mph) wind gusts all night. The tiny house we were in didn't budge. But it was loud af, and we didn't get much sleep.

Working our way back today. Staying a night in a B&B in Fredericton, NB.
Will seek out a brewery for dinner and beers tonight.

For now, polishing off the last of the apple squeezins in the B&B's screened gazebo.

From yesterday's run of anniversary party's. Silvaticus 7th anniversary/Oktoberfest. I just dropped by, chatted with the Brewers down in the cellar to congrats them and took off. Crowded plus moderation.

A small mortgage of lagers, doppelsticke barrels and dubbels. There's a 2019 & 2020 Brett Oktoberfest in there. Mad props to das boot photobomber

Enjoying a couple Einbecker Brauherran Pilsners with a couple daughters this evening. Since 1378! Hard to put a point on how refreshing this is in the 110 degree heat this week!

Looking forward to more fine German lagers as we get further into Bier Season! Prost!

Raising a glass of the '71 Boddingtons clone to JAReeves who seems to be reading the entirety of the unabridged HBT tonight.

You're good people, JAReeves! Cheers!

It's been about 2 months between teaching summer school, student retreats, funerals, the start of school, and now managing the confirmation program at our church. Today was football and HBT, a day for me. I hope the next day I get off, I'm in the garage. Peace to you, fellow HBT'ers, I missed your posts.

*it was about 100 pages from my watched threads. :rock:

I forgot to stay on point: I drank beers from Firestone Walker and Modern Times; I'm missing my home-brew!
 
View attachment 857423I think it tasted just a little bit better on the island.

Give it ONE drop of your local grocery store's best Coconut Extract, and it makes for a big improvement.
If you want to get a little crazy, mix up 1 oz bourbon, 0.1 oz Coconut Extract, keep it in small, stoppered bottle, and add a drop or three to any nice, smooth porter/stout, and enjoy!
