This is my first attempt at a NE Brown Ale. Used a few vials of WLP002 English Ale yeast I harvested from my Irish.
We've been having some issues with efficiency, no idea why but we are. Instead of coming up short, we just account for the loss and increase the grains needed. Well, today...we were much more efficient and ended up over shooting the OG by a good amount, the first photo is the intended recipe the second photo is it with the efficiency adjusted to match the measured OG. Anyway, let me know what you think of the recipe, and if this beer will suck due to the OG issue.
Also, it came out WAY too dark. not sure why. Beer smith gives British Choc malt at 450L, whereas the LHBS has it listed at 350-415SRL
