Brew Day Batch #2

May 27th 2009 Brew Day Batch #2

Banished to the garage to brew, steeped grains in kitchen, got a frown from Maria for this but assured her the 'great aroma' came from boiling wort and I will do that in the Garage. :-)
Did a Honey Oat Brown with a recipe I made up from looking at recipies for other Browns and Honey Ales. Things went well other than problems with my propane hook up, that still needs work...

3.3# Amber LME
2.0# Amber DME
1.0# Crystal 60L

1 oz. Hallertau Pellet 60 min.

Honey Oat Brown???

May, 18th 2009
Had some Newcastle Brown Ale, liked it. Between that and looking at recipes for Honey and/or Oat ales developed a grain and extract list.

Bought supplies from Riverside for a Honey Oat Brown. @ $45 This beer is WAY out of my league for my second ever batch, Hope it turns out, course I'll drink it anyway.....
