Are you a fan of Moose Drool? This is MoreBeer!'s take on the popular brown ale from Big Sky Brewing.

Combining 3 different steeping grains, our Brown Moose recipe is full of flavor! The chocolate malt, caramel 60L, and midnight wheat give this beer a nice light brown color and a taste that is light on the palate. Malt , caramel, chocolate, and coffee are just a few of the flavors you'll enjoy in this complex ale.

If you like brown ales that leave you wanting more, but don't knock you off your feet, then this is the perfect recipe for you!

  • Makes 5 gallons
  • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.041-1.048
  • SRM: 18-21
  • IBUs: 47-49
  • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 4-5%

 

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
 
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

I only have a 1 gallon pot. Can I use that for the mash and boil then water it down to 5 gallons, at fermentation?
Matthew Nicola on Mar 12, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I don't think that would work well. A pot that size would barely hold the grains, and there would not be enough water. You need to get at least a 3 gal pot, or larger
Just reading through the instructions, and in step 13 it says to use a solid stopper. Shouldn't I be using an airlock?

Harty Brown Ale
If you like a brown beer with a strong flavor this meets the call. It has been too long since i had Moose Drool so cannot say how well it is as a clone but the beer I made was good.

Pretty good kit for a newbie
This was my first attempt at homebrewing. I followed all instructions exactly as written. When I boiled this kit it made my whole house smell amazing! The fermentation took maybe 3 days to really start, I guess that's more a yeast issue than a kit issue? I tasted the sample I pulled for my hydrometer reading...pretty good. It got better after bottle conditioning. Smooth coffee and chocolate malt flavor, almost sweet. I was actually pleasantly surprised since this was my first batch. It ended up at 4.3% ABV. I was a little upset it wasn't higher but it fell within the range the kit specifies so that's cool. The only criticism I can really level against this kit (and THE reason I give it four stars) is the carbonation was pretty weak after three weeks of bottle conditioning. I would pour a glass and at most get a little fizz out of the beer. Don't get me wrong, I still drank it! But the lack of carbonation left me disappointed. Again, I followed all instructions to the letter! Since this was my first attempt at brewing I'm just glad I didn't have to dump the whole batch. Bottom line, if you like brown ales, can deal with the carbonation issue described (or better yet have a keg) and this is your first attempt I would say go for it.

Great beer
Made this recently, I am finding that the sugar provided in the kits does not carb well for a full 5gal batch so I have been adding 1/2 oz more. Nice flavor, not outstanding but still better than a bud light

Tasty beer
I just tapped this beer and am very happy with the results. I got great compliments from family at a recent gathering. I don't think this keg will last very long.

OK Beer
My version came out dark brown. It has lots of chocolate flavor with a little caramel. It is a bit on the hoppy side. Not sure if it was my brewing or the way the beer is. Not what I was expecting. Would not purchase again.

I’ve had this in all grain and malt extract and both produce s great beer. Though not quite as chocolaty as the real thing, still an excellent brown ale.

I enjoy the malty slightly chocolate taste of this brew. Turned out good for me. It tastes best slightly colder than room temperature. Refrigerate and pour and let sit for five or six minutes.
