Good morning all, it's a cloudy day here in TO and the girlfriend won't be home til late so: time to brew!

I will be getting started on my second ever all-grain batch and am hoping to do a nutbrown.

I wanted to go off of this recipe:

8 lbs. American 2-row info
1 lbs. Crystal Malt 60°L
8 oz. American Victory
4 oz. American Chocolate Malt
1 lbs. Oats Flaked

1 oz. Fuggle (Pellets, 4.75 %AA) boiled 60 min.
1 oz. East Kent Goldings (Pellets, 5.00 %AA) boiled 15 min.

But I have no Victory or Chocolate. I have an lb of roasted barley, and 2lb of Caramunich i (based on the availability of product around here), and I wondered about changing the recipe like so:

9lbs. Marris Otter
1lbs Crystal Malt 60L
1lb caramunich I
2oz Roasted Barley
1 lb of Oats Flaked

As I'm not sure about Victory malt, I didn't know how this would work out. I think my version would obviously be a bit darker (fine by me) but what about flavours here? Is this too rich? Too many dark/caramelly flavours competing?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

If I'm not mistaken, Victory malt is kind of an American version of Belgian Biscuit malt.
You could consider replacing the Victory with Belgian Biscuit.

I make a Nut Brown that uses 8oz of Biscuit and it really gives it a nutty, bready taste to it.

Not sure about the Chocolate malt though.

I unfortunately do not have access to a biscuit malt. I could probably get some, just not today when I was hoping to brew. I'm going to do some trolling for a good recipe that uses what I have, as I'm not yet confident enough to design a recipe myself.
Thanks for your help!
