Nut Brown Ale (5.5 gallon All Grain)
Styled after southern English brown ales, our Nut Brown kit is a great
all-around beer: it's easy to brew (its dark color and rich flavor make it
forgiving of mistakes), it's mild enough for light beer drinkers, but
characterful enough for more experienced brewers and beer lovers. The
finished product exhibits a deep copper color, fruity/caramelly flavor and
aroma with toasty, chocolatey notes; and it tastes great after just a few
weeks.
