This recipe was adapted from Rogue's HazelNut Brown Nectar clone that was published in September 2003 issue of Zymurgy. I adapted the recipe for a partial mash and a boil time of 60 minutes. This is a fairly complex recipe for me as it uses more than a couple different types of specialty malts. I purchased a small 16 oz diet scale to weight all the specialty grains and hops. During this brew sessions I became fairly detailed in the brew log and took actual gravity measurements. The hazelnut flavoring will be added to the secondary fermentor. According to internet sources the Rogue uses flavoring by Flavor-Mate. I could not find this particular brand but found Vanns Spices brand in 1 oz bottles.

| After 8 days in the primary fermentor, the Hazelnut Brown Nectar was transferred into the secondary for 2 weeks. The 1oz bottle of Vanns Spices Hazelnut flavoring was added to the secondary before racking. The flavoring smelled fairly strong and I hope I didn't ruin a good batch of brown ale. We will see how it tastes in a couple of weeks. |

After 14 days in the secondary fermentor the Hazelnut Brown Nectar was bottled with 5 oz corn sugar (dextrose). Hydrometer samples were taken from the fermentor and the sample had a strong hazelnut taste, hope this mellows out in the bottle.
Measurements:
1.010 @ 70 F = 1.011 FG

| The carbonation is not quite to it's fullest because of cooler temperatures in the storage closet. I think too much hazelnut flavoring was used, it's quite strong. I don't hate this beer but I probably wouldn't make it again with the same amount of flavoring. Other people like it fine though, maybe it's just me. Over time the hazelnut flavoring mellows out. I found a few of these 20 oz bottles I forgot I saved and tasted one on 4/1/05. It now tastes great with the flavoring blending nicely with the malt, this is one that will be improved with age. |
