Ingredients:
Malt Extract: 6.6 pounds amber malt extract (two 3.3-pound cans)
Specialty Grain: 1 pound 60L Crystal malt
Bittering Hops: 2.0 ounces Cascade (60 minutes)
Finishing Hops: 1 ounce Cascade (5 minutes)
Directions:
Steep 0.75 to 1.0 pound of milled 60L Crystal malt in two gallons of water for 20 minutes between 160 and 170 degrees Fahrenheit. When the time is up, pour the liquid through a sieve to remove the grain and hulls. If these are boiled they can leach tanins into the wort, which will produce undesired flavors in your beer. Discard the grain or compost it.
Bring the wort to a boil. At the same time, let the cans of extract sit in hot tap water so they will be easy to pour.
Add the warmed syrup to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Bring the kettle back to a boil and add 2.0 ounces Cascade hops (2.5 oz for a slightly more bitter flavor) in the wort for 60 minutes.
Add an additional 1 oz Cascade hops in the last 5 minutes of the boil.
Cool the brew pot by placing it in a sink full of ice. Do not add ice directly to the wort.
Pour the cooled wort into your sanitized fermenter, top up to five gallons, and when it has reached 75 degrees or cooler, pitch the yeast.
This homebrew recipe makes an American brown ale, malady
which should have more toasty and nutty notes than the lighter American ales. It should have a brown to dark brown color. The nutty flavor and darker color is achieved by adding specialty grains to the boil. It still keeps to the American Ale style by having higher hop characteristics than a brown ale you would find in England.

LME – Liquid Malt Extract.
Lovibond (abbreviated. L) – A measure of darkness of grain, sickness
often seen with a number, such as 60 L or 20 L. The higher the number, the darker the grain. Thus, 60L grain is darker than 20L grain.
