1172 Brown

This is a recipe I put together based on ingredients I had left over from previous brews, and other items I found in the kitchen. It's named 1172, because it cost me $11.72 for the hops and three pounds of light liquid extract.

Brewer:	Carl Hansen		Email:	gearhead70@att.net
Beer:	1172 Brown		Style:	American Brown
Type:	Extract		Size:	5 gallons
Color:	26 HCU (~14 SRM)		Bitterness:	33 IBU
OG:	1.055		FG:	1.010
Alcohol:	5.8% v/v (4.6% w/w)
Water:	Tap water
Boil:	45 minutes	SG 1.138	2 gallons
	3 lb. Light malt extract 1 lb. Cane sugar (powdered sugar) 3 oz. Molasses 1 lb. Light dry malt extract 1.5 lb. Dark dry malt extract
	2 oz. Whole flower hops in a bag for the length of the boil.
Hops:	2 oz. Chinook (12.7% AA, 45 min.)
Yeast:	I brewed my "Carl's Pale Ale" last weekend, and plan to throw this wort on top of the pale's yeast cake after I move it to secondary. Another left over ingredient! The old yeast is 1056 liquid.
Carbonation:	2.2 volumes	Honey: 4.14 oz. for 5 gallons @ 70°F
	I bottle all my beer with honey for carbonation. Usually 4-5 ounces. I use 12oz bottles, 22oz bottles, and 1/2 gallon growlers so that I can sample the 12oz bottles early on, enjoy the 22oz bottles when it's mature, and I use the 1/2 gal growlers for parties.
Tasting:	Will report back after tasting. Brew date 3/31/07.
