Notes

We used pale 2-row for the base with additions of Maris Otter to diversify malt profile and introduce maltier mouthfeel, CaraBrown for caramel-like sweetness and toasted flavors and Chocolate for color and minimal chocolate characters. Both Magnum and Fuggle hops were used as British varieties that will add bitterness and aroma, added for 60 and 10 minutes respectively. Magnum was used for its high level of alpha acids, while Fuggles was used for slightly earthy and floral aromas. We chose to use Wyeast 1335 (British Ale II) for a clean finish that will support the malty flavor of this style. Fermenting will take place at 68 degrees F for minimal, but apparent ester production. The water profile we chose seemed to most closely mirror traditional British Brown Ale water profiles.
