A Little Nutty Brown Ale fizzes to life

Posted on by

A Little Nutty Brown Ale is officially available for your drinking pleasure. First bottle was cracked open and looks like it’ll be drinkable. For the 16oz of nuts in the batch it only took on a bit of nut flavor. This was the first time using whirfloc and I’ll admit it does wonders to clear things up. Our Little Nutty Brown Ale has Pale Malt, oats, wheat, Caramel 20/60/80, and some chocolate. Magnum and Tettnag play the role of the hops in this brew. A pinch of brown sugar and a pound of nuts found there way into the batch as well. Dry S-04 was the yeast of the day. Final numbers for our Little Nutty Ale are 4.9% ABV, 32 IBU, 10 SRM.

First all grain brew is complete. We’ll see what sort of success story this turns out to be. No significant hiccups in the brewing process. Pretzels were great, beer didn’t boil over, and the cigar held its ash quite well.

This one features the usual Pale Malt, plus a bit of oats, wheat, Crystal 20/60/80, and a little chocolate. Did I mention it’s a nut brown? Complete with a pound of roasted pecans!
