I think it looks like a good recipe. I'd think about tuning down the carapils, maybe try 0.5 lb. 1lb CaraPils and 1lb Other Crystal might be a bit much. Other than that, looks good.

I don't know if you already brewed this, but the Argentinian Cascades are way different from the US variety. Much more earthy and dank. Not necessarily a bad thing, but they are not what you expect from a cascade. I would liken them to an English noble hop. Good luck, and happy brewing!

Iba (india Brown Ale)

Okay so here is what I brewed this weekend:
10# 2Row
1# Vienna
1# Carapils
1/4# British Chocolate 410L
2oz Vanguard @ 60
1oz Sterling @ 60
1.5oz Liberty @ 15
0.5 KG @ 15
0.5oz Liberty @ 2
1oz argentine cascade @ 2
It turned out darker than I expected, but we'll see how it turns out...how would you guys classify this brew...It isn't an IPA, but not really a brown ale either  I have a feeling it is going to taste bad, but we'll see

I don't know why it would taste bad. It sounds like a nice, hoppy brown ale to me.
