Notes: Adapted from a Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale clone recipe found on the American Homebrewers Association website: https://homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/dogfish-head-indian-brown-ale-clone/
This is an attempt to re-create, and hopefully improve on, my first ever home brew made in late 2010. I think it was also adapted from a clone recipe, but I haven't been able to find it. I do know that I used Coopers Light LME, Munton Amber DME, Dark Crystal, Biscuit, British Chocolate, Warrior and Liberty hops, and WL013 yeast. I also remember the recipe called for Dark Belgian Candi Sugar and maltodextrine, but I cannot remember if/how I used it. I did add 8oz of Grade B Maple Syrup that my neighbors made (Grade B was still used back then).
For this brew, I plan on trying two things for the first time: Backsweetening and kegging. My guide to backsweetening will be these articles: https://homebrewersassociation.org/beyond-beer/how-to-backsweeten-mead-and-cider/; https://beersmith.com/blog/2017/03/07/how-to-backsweeten-beer-cider-and-mead/
This wasn't the original plan, but I'm experimenting with using two different yeast strains for the same brew -- 1 liquid packet and 1 dry packet. Some calculations suggest 2 yeast packets makes sense for a 1.072 OG wort, or at very least a yeast starter is recommended, which I did not do.
Brewing, Finishing, and Packaging Notes:
Brewed: Sunday, November 2nd, 2025
Tested (first sample): Friday, November 14th, 2025
- FG: 1.018 (~74% attenuation; ~7.09% ABV)
Tested (second sample): Sunday, November 16th, 2025
- FG: 1.018 (stable)
Bottled (without Maple Syrup addition): Sunday, November 16th, 2025
- 10 12-ounce bottles with fizzy drops (I bottled right after I added the potassium metabisulfite, which slows down bottle conditioning, but should not prevent it)
Stabilized (with Potassium Metabisulfite and Potassium Sorbate): Sunday, November 16th and Monday, November 17th, 2025
- Potassium Metabisulfite (1/4 tsp per 5 gallons) -> Wait 12 hours -> Potassium Sorbate (1/2 tsp per gallon)
Kegged: Tuesday, November 18th, 2025
- Added 5oz of Very Dark (formerly Grade B) Real Vermont Maple Syrup (about 1.25 oz per gallon for this batch)
- Carbonated at around 20 PSI for ~5 days
- Served at around 12 PSI
OG: 1.072
FG: 1.018
ABV: 7.1%
IBU: 28
SRM: 18
This brew was very successful. Next time, I would like to try dry-hooping with Chinook and reducing the maple syrup addition slightly (to about 1 ounce per gallon). I might look for ways to adjust the grain bill to make it fuller bodied, but there's not much else I'd want to change. |

"Miyasaka Brewing is based in St. Louis’ sister city of Suwa, in the mountainous Nagano prefecture west of Tokyo. Brewed by the Miyasaka family since 1662, their Masumi sake (meaning transparency, or truth) is highly regarded. It was also at their brewery where the world’s most popular sake yeast strain, “Brewing Association Yeast #7” was first discovered and isolated. After discussing the elegance of a sister cities collaboration to celebrate JASSTL’s 50 th anniversary, Miyasaka very generously sent Urban Chestnut some of their home yeast to brew the new beer."
Could not order WLP705 Sake Yeast #7, so ordered WLP209 instead: https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-single?id=119&type=YEAST&srsltid=AfmBOophk-Oz-zKcyS9AqM-7aPAkzedMfSHsvrZHea3QJ__ilY4cWjQf |
