Janets Brown Ale

My version of this well known beer. Award winning and very famous in the brewing scene. I wanted to get a recipe this time to see how it would fare using my equipment. I wanted a brown after making a red and I thought it would be good to try this out. The brew went well and I waited a little too long to post this. Crazy hop schedule and I was a bit lazy about adding in the Northern Brewer hops and the Cascade hops. A very nice smelling boil for all who savored it.

Atrament

I went back to the drawing board and really did some research to get an American Stout recipe. With all the adjuncts everyone adds to their stout recipes; I wanted to get something pure and simple. This recipe is a style I love with some great flavors without the oatmeal I usually add in. EKG and Magnum hops in at the right times.

Unfug

This beer deserved a quick repeat. I let this beer go low and slow for about 8 weeks and it is going to take some time for me to get this into the keg for drinking. I wanted to make sure I had a good lead time on Oktoberfest.

I got this recipe from the award winning Munich Madness listing in Jamil Zainasheff and John J. Palmer’s book Brewing Classic Styles. Named for the German word for Mischief, I made a lot of it while drinking this beer.
