Honey Brown Ale - Beer Recipe Kit

Original Gravity: 1.0709 Final Gravity: 1.0177 Alcohol by Volume: 6.963%

This beer is a classic novelty style. It has a delightful nutty aroma with hints of honey. The recipe is formulated with a light hopping and clean ale yeast to help let the other aromas accent the sweetness, but don't let that fool you. The additional sugars provided by the addition of the honey will provide plenty of alcohol. Because of the honey, the fermentation time may increase as well, but it's well worth it. (Honey not included.)
