Notes: Overall Impression:
A malty, brown caramel-centric British ale without the roasted flavors of a Porter.

Aroma:
Light, sweet malt aroma with toffee, nutty, or light chocolate notes, and a light to heavy caramel quality. A light but appealing floral or earthy hop aroma may also be noticed. A light fruity aroma may be evident, but should not dominate.

Appearance:
Dark amber to dark reddish-brown color. Clear. Low to moderate off-white to light tan head.

Flavor:
Gentle to moderate malt sweetness, with a light to heavy caramel character and a medium to dry finish. Malt may also have a nutty, toasted, biscuity, toffee, or light chocolate character. Medium to medium-low bitterness. Malt-hop balance ranges from even to malt-focused; hop flavor low to none (floral or earthy qualities). Low to moderate fruity esters can be present.

Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Medium to medium-high carbonation.

Comments:
A wide-ranging category with different interpretations possible, ranging from lighter-colored to hoppy to deeper, darker, and caramel-focused; however, none of the versions have strongly roasted flavors. A stronger Double Brown Ale was more popular in the past, but is very hard to find now. While London Brown Ales are marketed using the name Brown Ale, we list those as a different judging style due to the significant difference in balance (especially sweetness) and alcohol strength; that doesn’t mean that they aren’t in the same family, though.

History:
Brown ale has a long history in Great Britain, although several different types of products used that name at various times. Modern brown ale is a 20th century creation as a bottled product; it is not the same as historical products of the same name. A wide range of gravities were brewed, but modern brown ales are generally of the stronger (by current UK standards) interpretation. This style is based on the modern stronger British brown ales, not historical versions or the sweeter London Brown Ale. Predominately but not exclusively a bottled product currently.

Characteristic Ingredients: British mild ale or pale ale malt base with caramel malts. May also have small amounts darker malts (e.g., chocolate) to provide color and the nutty character. English hop varieties are most authentic.

Style Comparison:
More malty balance than British Bitters, with more malt flavors from darker grains. Stronger than a Dark Mild. Less roast than an English Porter. Stronger and much less sweet than London Brown Ale.

Notes: 15.3.17
Malt bill mix of #1 and #4 (4% Carafa II and 10% Brown). Rest of recipe the same as #1-#4.
Initial Mash Ph = 6.5 (optimal 5.2-5.5)
30min/final Mash Ph = 5.8 (still too high)
Preboil gravity = 12.8P (slightly higher than #1-#4)
Original gravity = 14.5P (higher than #1-#4)

20.3.17
Ph 4.27, temp 19.5°C

---
Now we're changing up the malt bill quite a bit; No cara malt and using 50% brownmalt together with 50% pale ale malt. The rest is identical and aiming for similar degrees of plato; 13°P. Expected color is very dark since we're using 50% of the roasted malt, however it is very lightly roasted, only about 65 Lovibond (Carafa ~400 and Chocolate ~300).

Mash Ph = 6.0 (higher than optimal 5.2-5.5)
Gravity preboil 11.5°P (lower than #1 - #3)
Gravity post boil 13.5°P
Post boil volume 18.5L
Final volume in fermenter 16L
Final gravity 3.7P (after 7 days, higher than #1-#3)
Final pH 4.34

-- P4#3
Same recipe as P4#1 with BEST Chocolate instead of Carafa II
BEST Chocolate grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping. New package of Columbus opened, different from #1 and #2. 9g old (16.3% alpha), 6g new (14.1% alpha)
Removed 0.5L in the beginning of boil for yeast hydration. Maybe some hops were also removed.
Preboil: 12.4P (slightly higher than #1 and #2)
Beer appears dark brown. Nice color.
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 14.2P (higher than #1 and #2)
Final Ph about 5.2
Final volume in fermenter 15.5L
Final gravity 2-2.5°P.

-- P4#2
Same recipe as P4#1 with Carafa III Special instead of Carafa II
Garafa III grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping (removed 0.5L before boil for yeast dehydration. Removing during boil means removing some hops. Wort was boiled separately).
Preboil: 21.5l 12ºP
Beer apears almost black. Darker than #1. More than expected
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 18.5lit. 13ºP
Final volume in fermenter 16L

-- P4 #1
Carafa II grind finer than CaraMunich & Pale Ale.
Firstwort hopping
Preboil: 22lit. 12ºP
Beer appears to be darker than recipe.
Postboil: 19lit. 13ºP
Bitterness: slightly above average (3.5/5bitterness)
Color: Dark, almost black
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P
Final Gravity: about 2.5ºP (picture) -> 5.7%
End of fermentation: Very light in aroma and a smooth bitterness (3/5biterness)

Notes: the first decoction volume was too small (almost all solids!!!) to reach my usual 68 deg C sach' rest
so...second decoction to reach it after a 20 mn rest at 64

boil took a huge toll on volume so ended up with 21 litres @ 1.062 gravity

Recipe is now out of style... did not bother diluting the wort...

Bottled after 16 days in primary fermenter
FG = 1.012
beer tastes dry and fresh, no intense banana nor cloves notes.
