Ok so I went to get some brewing stuff today because my birthday is tomorrow and my swmbo surprised me and bought me the ingredients I wanted. I wasn't exactly prepared when she brought me and so I started fumbling through English Brown Ales on this site. Every time I found a recipe there were some ingredients that were not available to me. As I am knew at this, I don't the appropriate substitutes for various ingredients. So in the end, I decided to try and build my own recipe for a brown ale. I have no idea how I did or how it will turn out but before I start milling all the grains into a grain bill I thought I would post and ask for advice on this recipe. If I am missing anything that might make this beer better or have a wrong ingredient that just won't work, feel free to let me know. This is my first try on my own so feel free to guide me down a malty, biscuity, and beautifully brown ale.
Here is what I purchased
10# Maris Otter Malt
1# Victory Malt
1# Aromatic malt
1# Chocolate malt
1# Crystal 60
1oz Nugget Hops
1oz East Kent Goldings
1 vial White Labs London Ale
I type everything into an app called brew log and it gave me a few estimates for a 5.5 gallon batch
OG 1.068
FG 1.020
ABV 6.7
IBU 19
SRM 35L
The hop profile I entered was 1oz east kent Goldings at 60 min and .5 oz nugget at 15 min
Thanks for the advice in advance.
