Beersmith coconut update#

Not knowing how much coconut it would take to provide a pleasant but not overpowering flavor, we followed our scientific instinct and decided to run a little experiment. We then check out other peopleвЂ™s recipes, especially ones that have been rated, such as on, and formulate our own recipe of malts, hops, and yeast that we believe will produce a unique and palatable brew. English-style brown ales are typically sweet and malty, with mild alcohol content, and are sometimes nutty, whereas American varieties are often more bitter, have more hops, are dryer, and sometimes have higher alcohol content.

Brown ale is a highly variable style, but is generally divided into English brown ale and American brown ale. The process of developing a recipe begins with researching what makes a style of beer unique, or identifying which underlying flavor characteristics should be present. However, in an effort to appease the masses, or at least our staff, weвЂ™re attempting to make a coconut brown ale that will satisfy at least a few. When it comes to brewing beer, there are so many variables, such as the type and amount of grains, variety and amount of hops used, strain of yeast used, water chemistry, and temperatures and timing during the brewing process, that it is impossible to completely replicate another brewerвЂ™s creation. Designing a beer recipe intended to be similar or the same as someone elseвЂ™s beer recipe is called a вЂcloneвЂ™ by home brewers. mainland, is Kona BrewingвЂ™s KoKo Brown, a brown ale infused with toasted coconut. One brand that stood out as well-liked by many, and is no longer available on the U.S.

After word got out that we are making a brown ale, friends and colleagues started sharing their favorite beers, such as Sierra NevadaвЂ™s Tumbler Autumn Brown, Newcastle Brown, RogueвЂ™s Hazelnut Brown, etc.

Once people hear that you are brewing your own beer, the requests start pouring in for certain styles and versions of established brewersвЂ™ beers.
