Vanilla Brown Ale Recipe

Posted By Chris O'Neill on April 25, 2009

While writing this, I am starting a batch of vanilla brown ale. My vision for this beer is to have a traditional full bodied brown ale with the added refreshment of vanilla, ready right for the beginning of summer.

Here’s the recipe (all grain):
10 lbs 2-row pale malt
1 lb Barley flakes
0.5 lbs Chrystal malt
0.5 lbs Wheat
0.5 lbs Chocolate malt
1.3 oz Goldings whole hops (full boil)
Nottingham dry yeast
2 Full vanilla beans (doing this from scratch)
Small quantity of rum

This is a standard all grain recipe. I will be soaking the vanilla beans in rum for 1 day before adding to the secondary. The alcohol will extract a lot of the flavor from the vanilla.

I’ll let you know how it turns out through the process.
