Cranberry Brown
American Brown Ale • All Grain • 5 gal
Something to be thankful for. The chocolate maltiness balances with the tart cranberries. No aroma hops, trying to let cranberries come through.

This yeast is famous for its clean flavors, balance and ability to be used in almost any style ale. It accentuates the hop flavors and is extremely versatile.

2 pounds fresh cranberries added with 15 minutes boil left, allow cranberries to burst then strain out. Any sugar from cranberries not included in calculations. I may add more cranberries to secondary, depending on how it is coming.

Discussion
High OG
2009-11-01 9:12pm
the OG ended up at 1.068 a little higher than expected. The wort has a definite if faint cranberry taste and aftertaste, a little more bitter than expected.
sweet and cranberry in background

after 6 days in primary gravity is 1.022. Red-ish brown, sweet and a bitter note from the cranberries. Cranberry flavor is present but subtle, I could add more without overwhelming it, but think I'll see how it turns out as is. ABV 6%. I let this get too hot and messed up the attenuation, its a bit on the sweet side.
sweet and tart
2009-11-13 11:45pm
ended up sweet and tart, but not balanced. Not bad but the tart and sweet seem to fight each other, not compliment or balance. More cranberry flavor and finish and less cranberry aroma. Next time I'll add less cranberry on boil and make up the difference by racking secondary onto crushed cranberries.
