5.0 stars based on 3 votes
Beer Style: English Brown, American Brown
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
This recipe was adapted from multiple Newcastle clone recipes by GFHB before it was brewed to perfection by Anthony G from Texas. Instructions include two brewing options: BIAB or Mash Tun. Anthony G has been a guest GFHB blogger and has shared a lot of his experiences using the BIAB brewing method. It is note worthy the amount of enzymes required when using the BIAB method due to the dilute mash conditions. This is a subject that Anthony G goes into detail about in his blog article 'BIABing with Anthony G from Texas' in April 2018. Anthony G asked his non-gf friends taste each version of this beer along with a Newcastle Brown Ale until they all agreed on this final version.
