Brown Ale Brew Day

With the first run of our nut brown ale on tap, some minor tweaks were in order.  I upped both the chocolate and victory malts slightly.  There were a couple of reasons for this particular modification.  The first was to get a slightly more pronounced nuttiness and the second was to get it a tad darker without upping the crystal.  I also thickened the mash a tad, as I've found that, at least for our brewery, a thicker mash yields better results for our low to moderate gravity beers.  I brewed the modified version this weekend and am excited to taste the final product.  Preliminary showings indicate a winner. Version one was a good beer.  Version two will be a great beer.
