#12 - Home Toasted Brown (FK:II)



First experiment with home toasted grains. Toasted the pilsner malt as outlined in the previous post. It only makes up 18% of the grain bill so I'm not sure how much it's going to contribute or what impact it will have. That being said the grains smelled great when I was grinding them. 

I hate a thin, watery brown ale so I'm trying to amp up the body on this one. The recipe is a bastardization of multiple recipes for brown ales that I read. Aiming for minimal hop flavor contribution. Want this one to be rich, dark, and carmel(ly). Recipe below:

OB: 15

Close, probably a little high on volume. Estimated OG 1.066
