Notes

Original recipe here: https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-american-brown-ale/

Per recipe: Boil and chill as usual, then ferment at 65F for about a week, then raise to 68F or so to clean up any diacetyl (though it’s not the worst flavor in this beer!). Once that’s done, free-add that blended ounce of Liberty and Crystal (.5oz of each), and wait about five days.
