Ok, tell me more about it?

It's an American Brown Ale which I served up on tap and put in the WA case swap. I've had some requests for the recipe. What do you want to know about it?

All I can say is this tastes awesome on the way down and surprising good on the way back up. Damn stomach bug...ruined me.

No good, Keifer!

I vote this as a case swap cracker. Great beer.

A bit OT but I'm a noob and only knocked off 4 AG brews. This looks great and I have been thinking of doing one using Pilsiner malt. This would fit the bill nicely. Is there anything I need to know about using Pilsiner malt ie; strike temps mash times etc.

Thanks in advance.

Above all, make sure you do at least a 90min boil to drive of DMS.

DMS?

Dimethyl Sulfide - take a look here http://www.winning-homebrew.com/dms.html

As for the mash you don't need to do anything different to the temps or times, only if you want to try for lighter or fuller body.

Bizier made the comment that the cascade is producing a grassy flavour and perhaps use citra/centennial in the last 20.

Thanks for the info! :icon_cheers:

All this type of info was what i was asking about.

There's so many recipes here that people have stuck in the db when they are brewing (for some reason) and never got back to comment as to what was good, or what they changed or how long they've been brewing it etc.


I've been drinking the Operation Mongoose recipe that seems very similar.
