I have a bottle of hazelnut extract, and want to design a recipe that allows it to take the stage. I figured a mild mannered light brown ale would be in order. I've only had one (Sam Adams maybe?) and really liked it. I will do a small partial mash. I also want to keep the ABV in the low to mid 5%.
What I'm thinking is (5.8 gal):
3 lbs Briess 2 row
1/2 lb crystal 60
1/2 lb crystal 120
2 oz Briess chocolate 350*
2 oz Briess roasted barley
1/2 lb wheat DME
4 lbs Briess golden light LME (FO)
1 oz Willamette @ 60/20 mins
US-05
According to Brewtoad it should be about:
1.057/1.017
18* L, 26 IBU's
5.2% ABV
I have Nottingham yeast I could use instead. I'm not sure how the special roast will behave in this.
Is there anything you'd do differently?
