World's Best Recipes

[jdlev]

Any recommendations on my next batch (after the batch I have waiting to be brewed - next up is an english mild ale). I think my favorite beer right now is the english brown ales.

What's the best recipe (all time) that you guys have made (or tasted), and been able to reproduce with relative consistency?

careful with your critique should you choose to brew this. AZ likely can't take much more enlargement before his head explodes.

The three closest I can think of are: 1) Coyote Springs Nut Brown (out of business; but I did track down the brewer and based the recipe sort of on it), 2) Oak Creek Nut Brown (likely not available in your neck of the woods), and 3) Big Sky Moose Drool....



<------------------- This Elk Drool recipe is pretty close to Moose Drool as well, you can see the tasting notes and such....

Excellent! I love Moose Drool!
