Notes: Adapt the mash volume with the dead volume of your tun.
I use a Klarstein 50L brewing machine which has 7L of dead volume under the tun basket => take it in an account for the mash thickness :
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 2.5L/kg * 6kg + 7L = 22L (new mash thickness = 3.68L/kg)

Total mash water needed 35.7
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 3.68 L/kg 22
Remaining sparge water volume 14
Grain absorption losses -4.1
Mash Lauter Tun dead space -1
Amount going into kettle 30.6
Boil off losses -5.3
Hops absorption losses -0.3
Misc. losses -1
Amount going into fermentor 24
Total: 35.7

This is a recipe by well known home brewer Mike McDole (aka 'Tasty' on the forums he frequents).

It's a recipe that got some great publicity when it took gold at the 2004 National Homebrew Competition (NHC) - it was entered under category 23 Specialty Ale.

Some may want to call it an American Brown Ale but is a bit outside the numbers for that style because it has slightly too much hops and alcohol. You could call it an Imperial American Brown Ale I suppose (if that category existed).

It's a beer that I had heard about for years but never got around to making... I finally brewed it last weekend. I couldn't resist and sampled a bit yesterday and it's coming along wonderfully!

If you like hoppy American style ales, this is one you definitely have to try. A nice fall beer.

JANUARY 2013 UPDATE: I've brewed this beer numerous times now and it's one of my favourites to keep on tap. The malt and hop flavours work perfectly together.

FEBRUARY 2014 UPDATE: I brewed this beer again in the fall of 2013 but but this time I'm serving it using a beer gas blend (70% nitro / 30% CO2) instead of straight CO2, pushed through one of my stout faucets to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer. Absolutely wonderful. I enjoy it a lot more than on regular CO2 so this one's always going to be served this way from now on.

It's also available in extract and all-grain kit form with everything you need from More Beer:

Size: 12.0 gal (post-boil)
Efficiency: 95%
Attenuation: 76.8%
Calories: 225 kcal per 12.0 fl oz
Original Gravity: 1.068 (1.045 - 1.060)
Terminal Gravity: 1.016 (1.010 - 1.016)
Color: 18.3 (18.0 - 35.0)
Alcohol: 6.8% (4.3% - 6.2%)
Bitterness: 64 (20.0 - 40.0)

Ingredients:
19.15 lb Domestic 2-Row Malt (75%)
1.6 lb Pale (or White) Wheat Malt (6.3%)
2.0 lb Carapils®/Carafoam® (7.8%)
2.0 lb Crystal Malt 40L (7.8%)
0.8 lb Chocolate Malt (3.1%)
2 oz US Northern Brewer Hops (8.5%) - added during mash*
3 oz US Northern Brewer Hops (8.5%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
2 oz US Northern Brewer Hops (8.5%) - added during boil, boiled 15 min
1 Whirlfloc Tablet (Irish moss) - added during boil, boiled 15 min
3.0 oz Cascade Hops (6.0%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min
4.0 oz Cascade Hops (6.0%) - added during boil, boiled 0 min
36 g Fermentis Safale US-05 dry yeast
4 oz Centennial Hops (9.2%) - added dry to secondary fermenter

*If using pellet hops break them up into a powder before adding them to the mash, otherwise they will clump up and you won't get much out of them.

Notes:
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, S04=279
(Basically Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale numbers with slightly less Sulphate).
1.25 qt/lb mash thickness. Single infusion mash at 152F for 90 mins. Mashout to 168F.
60-90 min fly sparge with ~6 pH water. Collect 14.9 gallons in the boil kettle.
Boil for 90 minutes. Lid on at flameout with 0 minute hops, start chilling immediately.
Cool wort to 66F and aerate well. Ferment at 66-68F until complete. Dry hop for 7-10 days.
Rack to brite tank (secondary), crash chill to near freezing (if possible), add 1 tsp of unflavoured gelatin dissolved in a cup of hot distilled water per 5 gallons of beer, and let clear for 2-3 days.
Package as you would normally. I keg and carbonate on the low side (around 2 to 2.2 volumes of C02) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop/malt flavour come through.
