Brown Ale

[buckfast]

Hello all.

I fancy having a crack at an all grain brown ale this weekend. Have any of you got a recipe that you're willing to share?

Cheers

Geoff.

Here's one I did recently, and am really enjoying drinking this. Not sure it's exactly the style of brown you are looking for though.

Recipe: 24 Baby Chuck's Brown Ale
Brewer: Robert
Asst Brewer: Elsie the Pug
Style: American Brown Ale
TYPE: All Grain
Taste: I'm loving this beer. It has a lovely malt complexity and nice hoppiness. Will brew this again some time, but reduce the 60 min hop addition and up the flavour/aroma component.
