American Wheat Brown?

[BrosysBrews]

Hi All, I have a can of Wheat but want to make an American Brown, this is what I am thinking, thoughts appreciated:

1.5kg Coopers Wheat Malt
1 kg LDME
1 kg DDME
0.2 kg Choclate Malt
0.2 Carra Malt
US-05

15 g Cascade & 15 g Centennial @ 45min
15 g Cascade & 15 g Centennial @ 10min
15 g Cascade & 15 g Centennial @ 1min

Looks good to me mate, in fact I think you've inspired me to up the wheat on my next ABA!

Personal taste but I'd up the 10 min addition (or add a 5 min) and the 1 min.

Thought about dry hopping? 1g/L Cascade or Centennial?


Let us know what you settle on and how it goes..

Cheers :beer:

Thanks for your thoughts, I was thinking about a dry hop (normally I am a bit of a hop head) but thought it would be nice to have a beer that is more malt then hops for somehting a bit different, maybe a 5 min addition would be a nice compromise

If you're thinking more malt then hops, maybe more of an English Brown?

Change to some EKG and/or fuggles (or Willamette :icon_drool2: ) and use a british yeast..

Never had an English Brown, any suggestions on a commercial to try?

Samuel Smiths or Newcastle brown ale comes to mind, Rogue did a nice hazelnut brown but not sure if that would really be classed as an English brown
