Brown Ale

Last night we brewed a brown ale that Elise wrote the recipe for herself. We are trying to make a clone of a cross between Brooklyn's Brown Ale and Avery Ellie's Brown. We are trying to emulate the sweetness and balance of Avery's, and the hoppyness of Brooklyn's. There were 3 hop additions to this beer, Centenial, Willamete, and Cascade. This will be our first beer that we will start experimenting with dry hopping. After fermentation is complete, about 3 days before we bottle, we will add 1 oz of Cascade hops to give the beer a more hoppy aroma. Because the Winter Warmer beer is still in secondary, the Brown will just be in primary for about 2 weeks and then bottled.
