Nutty Brown Note Brew Session

Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Everything done on the stovetop and no chill. This chilled in about 9 hours sitting outside in 35F temps. 11/28 - It took probably 30 minutes to roast the hazelnuts properly. Getting the skins off was a pain and I didn't get them all off, just as well as could be expected. The hazelnuts are in the fermenter and will soak for 5 days. This will be bottled on 12/3.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 4.70 gallonsliters at 1.044 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.053.

You wanted an OG of 1.056. It looks like it will be under.

Tasting Notes (1)

Tasted on 1/4/2020 by CheeseNips

Notes:

Pours mahogany in color with almost no foam but it persists. Aroma is sweet wheat bread along with a peanut aroma and toffee. Flavor is sweet wheat bread that quickly morphs into roast flavor, almost a smoked malt, and then ends in a touch of bitterness and pretzel. Body is medium and carbonation is low. Overall it's quite a good beer as it has a really full brown ale flavor. There's not enough nuttiness for me so it is lacking there. 4 stars.
