Nut brown ale

[zymurgest]

I want to make a 5 gallon all grain batch of nut brown ale but I have no idea how to get the nuttiness. Anyone have a recipe that fits the bill?

Actually, Nut Brown refers to the color. I make a respectable Southern English Brown Ale called "Brown Nuts Ale" that has a nut like flavor along with the malty flavors and hop goodness we all enjoy. While I usually make a 10 gallon recipe, I'll halve it and see how that works.

7.5 pounds Golden Promise Ale malt
0.5 pounds British Crystal (~55L)
0.5 pounds Chocolate Malt
0.25 pounds Victory Malt
0.25 pounds Honey Malt

6 AAU's UK Goldings hops @ 60~90 minutes
1 ounce Fuggles hops @ 7 minutes
1 ounce UK Goldings @ Knockout

Ferment with Wyeast 1968 or White Labs WLP002 @ 64'F for 1 week
Chill to 30-35'F for 3 days, then add 1/2 tbs each of Gelatin and Polyclar
Package as usual after another week when beer is bright and clear
Share, and enjoy!
5% Abv, 25 IBU's

Prost!

*NO* Honey malt? This is rediculous! Honey malt is a standard malt from Gambrinus, so I'm a bit dismayed to hear this. Victory malt is good, but it tends to get a lil hot if you use too much. If you can't get good British or continental malt, then add a pound of bisuit, and aromatic malt to the mix to compensate for the necessary inherent differences between domestic and imported malt. Jopefully the Maris Otter will be floor malted

Prost!
