This could be rust particles from your hot water tank. This is not healthy and you should have a plumber check this out.

The most usual cause for brown water in the bath is a growth of algae in your hot water tank; it could also be rust in the hot water tank. The simplest solution, although very expensive, is a new hot water tank. Personally, I would be willing to bathe in brownish water.

What causes brown water only when you turn the hot water on on the other side of the house The hot water in the kitchen above the hot water heater is always clear had a recirc pump installed in line?

This is a sign of residue in the hot water pipes. i guess at your part of the world, you must be using corrosive type of water pipes. The heat in the water helps oxidization of the inside of pipe and when the same pipe is not used to transfer of water in the pipe, existing water in the pipe caused corrosion so when the tap is opened after a while, the water that comes out is brown. To avoid this, you need to use the tap more often to stop the brown build up inside the pipe.

Does brown sugar dissolve in cold water?

Brown sugar is soluble in water- and it's solubility increases as the temperature increases (i.e. the hotter the water, the more brown sugar will dissolve!) This is why you can put brown sugar in your tea- while it is hot, it will all mix in, but if you make it with cold water, much less will dissove.
