Hope this will be a corker. My next project will be brewing a brown ale too (once I finally get hold of the little bits for my boiler). I'm curious about the toasted oats bit. Have you used them before for this style?

Not used them for this style but have used them in a stout and they were outstanding.

This brew smells great and the green wort has a lovely flavour, malty and complex I live in hope its going to come through in the final product, hopefully the special B will do its job well.

First Runnings

The blackness of it all

Rolling rolling rolling

Aerating the Wort

Filth & I had a bit of wort left over

Pitched

Ended up with 25ltrs at og1036 with some wort left in the boiler :shock: so happy with that.

I pitched at 15deg C to get a clean beer that should condition fairly quickly.

The colour is spot on just what I was aiming for, Just hope it turns out as good as I hope it will :pray:

[gurtpint]

Great stuff. What yeast did you end up using?

 

[unclepumble]

I plumped for windsor in the end.

& its raging away in the bucket.
