Beer Style: American Brown Ale (10C)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons
Description:
The beer is a brown ale with sweetness from the sugars and crystal malt; not much hop flavor. The maltodextrin contributes a strange slightly syrupy quality (I think)---I might leave it out next time. Anyway, I thought it was a nice, drinkable brown ale.
Ingredients:
- 2 cans, Geordie Extra Strong ale extract
- 1 cup, dark brown sugar
- 2 cups, corn sugar
- 1/2 pound, crystal malt
- 1/2 cup, maltodextrin
- 1/2 teaspoon, Irish moss
- 1 ounce, Willamette leaf hops
