Notes
Source: http://www.jaysbrewing.com/2012/11/14/newcastle-brown-ale-clone/
An empty container of LME weighs 1.34 oz.
Started fermenting a few hours after pitching. Rehydration must've been spot on. Glass carboy is in the corner of the living room with two wet t-shirts covering it.
Bottling day: 04/29. 1.5 oz of corn sugar with 1 cup boiling water. Makes 1.7 volumes.
Last bottle: 07/22. Taste test with Newcastle.
Appearance: Commercial is much clearer and much lighter. To be expected. My head is larger at first but dissipates quickly. Looks like similar levels of carbonation based on bubbles. Mine is an opaque brown, almost black. Newcastle is a nice copper red. Newcastle wins out here.
Aroma: Mine is nutty and caramelly, but only slightly so. Probably smelled stronger with fresher bottles. Medium notes of bread. Newcastle aroma is much harder to detect. Slightly nutty not much else.
Taste: Mine is rather carbonated upon entry. Newcastle's is immediately smoother. Not necessarily a better thing. Mine has caramel and roasted attributes. Newcastle's finish is more "boozy", mine is slightly more bitter, less boozy.
Mouthfeel: Mine has a fuller body, Newcastle is thin by comparison. Hard to find any other differences. Both dont leave a terribly strong after taste. Both are pleasant.
Overall: Maybe biased, but I prefer mine. The fuller body lends itself to a fuller, more robust taste. If I made it again, maybe I'll try upping the chocolate and/or black malt in order to bring out more flavours.
