Today is Boxing Day which has nothing to do with this post. I am brewing up a batch of American Style Brown Ale. I am taking the time while it reaches a full boil to write this. Here is my basic recipe: 8 lbs Pale Malt, 2 lbs Munich Malt, 1 lb Dark Wheat Malt, 8 oz Chocolate Malt and 8 oz Crystal Malt (40L). For Hops I am using 1 oz Galena for 60 minutes and 1 oz Galena for 20 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of the boil I will add 1 tablespoon of Irish Moss and when the boil is done I will add 1 lb of Turbinado. For yeast I am using the Hornendahl strain. I mashed for 1 hour at 152F and collected 6.5 Gallons. My projected OG is 1.065. We will see. I will post my results later. Okay it is later. My OG is 1.056, a bit off them mark but not too bad. 🙂
