Bad News Brown Ale
Beer Style: American Brown
Recipe Type: partial mash
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
I used to enjoy Newcastle Nut Brown Ale in my earlier days and it's been awhile since I had a beer resembling that style. I wanted to give this brew a bit more kick than a standard English Brown Ale so I added a bit more fermentable grains to provide a higher ABV.
