Day 188 Fontucky Brown Ale

My nephew Aaron Nelson and I made a batch of home-brewed Brown Ale. We stated the process about a month ago and this is the first bottle. The official name of this batch is Fontucky Brown (Pride) Ale bottled by Nelson Bessey Brewery (est. 2011).

  1. So what did you think? I was satisified for a first batch. It has a nice head, color, and smell. I think it was a little over carbonated, but we new that might happen after we took the samples. But, still i think it was a good first outing.

  2. Here's what I think: The over carbonation was most likely caused by the specific gravity being off. That doesn't bother me too much, really. I think it was lighter than you expected because of the amount of water we put in to make it attain 5 gallons. I am not a big Brown Ale drinker, so I don't have much experience with that, but it had a nice "Ale" flavor and aroma. I liked it a lot.
