Recipe – Farvada Brewing – British Brown Ale
With the fall weather kicking in and the cooler temperatures coming along with it, I felt I needed something a bit darker to drink. Coming in at a low 4.2% this British brown ale should do wonders. It came out incredibly clear going into the keg and has a nice roast flavor with just a hint of bitterness.

Notes
| Spices added to "secondary" without transfering from yeast cake. After 3 days of secondary spices, either keg/bottle or transfer off spices into a secondary vessle for aging. Beer based on the beerandbrewing.com recipe (http://www.beerandbrewing.com/VYB-uCkAAAIBZ2ak/article/pumpkin-ale-recipe) with modifications to the hops and added nutmeg and allspice to make it more like the pumpkin ale from Lowdown brewery. |
