well i sampled my brown ale and im very excited about it, It tastes great!!! but is very porter-ish so i'm wondering if i truely nailed. i'm certainly no expert but what i can interp from the guidlines i think i did well, but i may not have the skill to truly id all the characteristics good or bad for the style.
should i still call it a brown ale?
If anyone tries this they wont be dissapointed!!
Well it looks like a brown ale recipe to me, but I don't drink them.
I'm not so sure about the name though. Aything like that or Brown Trout ale I really don't want.

hey i just wanted to do a follow up on my recipe here, im entering it into the 2007 LongShot Samuel AdamsŪ American Homebrew Contest, wish me luck!!!
good luck! I might have to give that recipe a shot, looks great. I have been wanting a brown for some time now.
i just sent my entry for the Sam Adams Longshot comp. through UPS, left it out side my door and had them pick it up at my house, no questions ever asked on the contents.
for anyone that entered the Longshot winners have been posted on the sam adams web site.

GOODBREWING......

Congrats... I was a little late getting stuff submitted to that one.
But I'll have to give this recipe a try.
So, do you know how you placed in the catagory?
I heard from soneone else who also entered this years contest. He scored a 20, and a 21. I forget what styles he brewed, but he mentioned you really have to make a wicked good brew, and follow closely the bjcp guidelines for what your beer should taste like, look like, smell like, and feel like. I'm certainly going to try next year, even if all I get is a t-shirt or whatever...
Winning free shwag from brewing is always cool...
Bringing home the ribbons is even cooler.
one comment that was expressed between the two evals was that it needed more hops

I wonder how it would have done as a northern english brown then.
