Analysis Used same quantity of Northern Brewers hops as our last very successful attempt at Newcastle Brown Also added LME to try to capture that little extra 'something ' that was still missing (or at least make a unique malty Newcastle brew) Yeast activated quite quickly but almost stopped by Day 2 Specific Gravity remained high but stable Tasted quite sweet and malty at bottling The mature taste is great for those who like a strong malty brew Not quite your commercially prepared Newcastle Brown (that taste is amazingly difficult to replicate) but this recipe is closer Best Newcastle we've made to date !
