Beer Style: American Brown Ale (10C)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
My attempt to duplicate one of my favorite beers - Dogfish Raison Ale. It, predictably, is not as good, but turned out well. The raison flavor is evident, but not overpowering. I tried to get a slight hop flavor and aroma, which was probably counterproductive. I will cut back on that if I brew again.Overall, not bad for a first attempt. I also only left in the secondary for a week because I was impatient, could have definitely used at least another week for clarity.
