I am making a brown ale and i'd like to add some brown sugar to the recipe. How much do I add, and when do I put it in?

Brown sugar is a great addition to many different brews. It works great in brown ales and porters, even some Stouts. It will add alcohol and some flavor to these styles. You may add 1/2 to 1 lb. of brown sugar to a 5 gallon batch, and you add it at the same time as the malt extract. Brown sugar can even be added to hard cider and tropical fruit wine prior to fermentation.
