is there such a thing as plain old, nothing special brown ale? I'm looking for a "base" recipe which I can add different thing to.
I would like to make some different brown ales and need a good starter. But since I will be adding stuff that is high in sugar I figure a kinda low ABV recipe might be a good start, or even a regular plain brown recipe and cut a couple pounds of 2-row.
What I have in mind...
honey brown (I have honey bees)
caramel brown (salted caramel baking mix, mostly sugar and artificial flavors)
pecan brown (I have sugary pecan glaze packets from a spiral hams)
maple brown (I have sugary maple glaze packets from hams)
Basically I have lots of sugary flavored baking items to use somehow...
I know most of the sugar will be fermented but hoping the "artificial" flavors remain. Seems every flavoring is artificial these days.
