Nut Brown

Stolen from the local shop recipe list. Supposed to be Sam Smith's Nut Brown clone. OG was 1.034 @ 75F?!?!?!? I think I need a new hydrometer, second batch in a row to come up with wierd gravity. Color is deep brown, much darker than Sam Adam's Octoberfest (which I am currently drinking - don't judge me, I just really need the bottles for the double batch of stout I am making this weekend).

8/23/09 - racked to secondary (keg) pressurized to 10 pounds and tossed in fridge @ 35F. No gravity taken - hydrometer was broken and have not purchased replacement yet. Will repressurize tomorrow after cooled for taste update.

8/28/09 - Finally got around to tasting out of the keg today, good, but not great. I am yet to try the bottle for a comparison. They will go head to head on Sunday (one week after bottling) when my noob friend comes over to brew with me on 8/30/09. Recipe could use some tweeking to fine tune, or maybe aging a little would help. Wait and see on this one.

This beer is really good. The taste has settled out, for a very nice overall flavor. Not aggressive or overpowering like some browns can be. This is my new brown recipe....no more cascade for this style for me. Also just noticed that this recipe has listed 2 oz of roasted barley twice....oops.

Something very clever (not to mention beery).
