I have some grains that I need to use and I came up with this recipe for what I think would be classified as a brown ale...any critiques or suggestions would be appreciated.

This is for a 2.5 gallon batch:
1# light DME
.8# crystal 90
.8# Munich light
.5# chocolate grain

Steep grains at 155 for 30-45 minutes
Add DME
Boil for 60 minutes with the following hop schedule

.7 oz est kent holdings hops @60
.4 oz fuggles hops @15

WY1098 yeast
Primary fermentation for 2 weeks
Bottle condition

I plugged the ingredients into BeerCalculus on hopville.com and it looks pretty hoppy. You might want to lessen the amount of EKG or add it later.

It also calculates an OG of about 1.038 which is pretty low.

Seemed like it would come out a little low also 8 oz of chocolate seems like a lot for this low gravity beer. I'd go with probably 2 oz of the chicolate

Gartywood is right, IMO. However if you added it at sparge (or only steeped for 15min) I don't think the chocolate would overwhelm the beer.

I once made the choice to just dump in 1lb each of chocolate, carmel, roast and 17lbs of two row. That beer was so freeken bad (it made me sick). I gave my brewers word from then on (untill I know what I am doing) to work of some kind of recipe. anyway your looks good, I'll go with the others and say lighter on the chocolate.
