Turn temperature to medium high-high and hold grains in until boil starts “about 15-25 minutes”. At boil pull grains let drip and make sure you have 3gl now. then add 3.5lbs extract, mix well and bring boil back. Drop 1oz. Hallertau hops and boil for 60 minutes. Drop 1oz. Hallertau hops and boil for 40 minutes. Put 1gl ice and dump brew and enough cold water so batch is 5gl. Pitch yeast at 70-75*. Fermentation will start within 18 hours of lock. Primary for 10 days, secondary for 14 days "remember to dry hop" and bottle for 10 days.

You see, i am a light beer drinker whom just recently started homebrewing. I really don't like dark beers (commercial ones) but i am willing to give one a try at home that i will like. I have been looking for a brown ale that fits my taste and this one sounds like it will do the trick. Sweet, chocolately, nutty, caramel flavors with not much bitterness into it. I do not mine driness but i will not miss it neither. I will be trying this recipe on my next bash. Thank you for shearing.
