Bobcat Brew is an extension of Bobcat Chow, started by four Ohio University graduates that lived together, drank together and cooked together for four years in Athens. We started with great food and have decided to expand to beer. This blog will follow our very beginning batches and who knows, maybe someday we will look back at this as the start of our own brewery...

Ohio Brown Ale
We brewed this one awhile ago, it has just taken me a little while to post. A version of Newcastle but I think it is a bit different, very good at any rate. This was a dry malt which is different than past beers. It tasted like cake batter when the condensation hit the dry ingredients, not bad at all. The only major change would be to add less sugar before bottling, it has a little to much carbonation when you pour the beer. It creates a lot of head but after that is fine.
Ingredients:
6 lb. of Muntons light Dried Malt extract,
13 oz. Crystal
3 oz. Chocolate malt,
1 oz. Challenger,
.5 oz. Kent Goldings pellet hops,
1 tsp. Irish moss
Steeped the grains for 25 minutes
OG was 1.058
let it sit for 14 days in the fermenter
Final reading was 1.020
ABV is 5.18%
