Brewed this today but went with a good dose of Citra and Amarillo at the end instead. Had a nightmare when I couldn't find the hosepipe connector and ended up having 20 mins extra hot steeping whilst I looked for it.

All safely tucked into my new fermenter now.

What's capacity of that thing only looks half full

Apparently 30litres but reviews online say it has loads of spare headspace. I've 22 litres in there today.

Looks great, where did you get it?

I have just ordered all my ingredients to brew an American brown again next week, really looking forward to it now. Its basically Janets brown but I've subbed the cascades for Ahtnum.

Like Bubbles said I got it from BCS. Its also on the BN site forums with some input from tasty (here)

Theres a session version recipe on Nikobrews website (here) which I was tempted to try but then I decided Janets was so nice the last time I made it I'd just go with it again.

Note: This is the Imperial version of JBA. Brewing Class Styles has the "regular" or traditional version. I made the imperial version so I could enter into the Specialty Beer category. This is the version I brew once a year at Russian River Brewing Company.
BTW: All three versions (regular, imperial, and light) have the same basic hop bill at about 65 IBU.

Bottled mines the other day. Half of it got a dose of Guatemalan coffee added. Taste from the fermenter was very fruity with a nice touch of roast malt. Will pop a bottle in a fortnight or so and bring one of each to the next Maiden City Brewers meet for a side by side tasting.
