I'm doing a crazy one here folks. This is a southern english brown ale style. My original plan was to do 10 gallons of brown, and split it up. Keg one as a brown ale, and rack the second to sit with some bourbon soaked oak chips. Only, my brain wasn't working right this morning, and I planned out the perfect 5 gallon recipe - but was thinking it was a 10! Oops. So, life goes on - I'll just have to whip up another batch soon, to keep the beer flowing in the D.R.B. :)
8lb maris
4 lb victory
.50 crystal 40
.50 crystal 120
.50 biscuit
.50 chocolate
.87 oz. kent goldings - 5% (20 IBU's)
OG: 1.062 (a bit high for this style, but I want it up there a bit more since I'm adding the oak/bourbon).
Yeast: This'll be my first time trying dry yeast. I'm going to use Safeale S-04. Also soaking oak chips in bourbon for a bit to add to the secondary. Can't wait to see how this one comes out. I'll report back in the comment section on how this went. I think I'm going to brew on Sunday (tomorrow).

OG: 1.061, which is just about where I wanted this beer.
Sounds like an awesome beer. I was wanting to do a brown ale with oak and ran across your blog. I may have to give this recipe a try. Let me know how your's turns out.
What temp did you do for your mash rest?
