Please review my recipe for an English brown Ale

rhythmsteve said:

9.0 # British 2 Row
1.0 # Victory Victory malt is a bit nutty/bready. I used 0.5 lb in my English Brown and it was perfect. Up to you.
1.0 # Crystal
.5 # special roast (WAY TOO MUCH!!!!) This is a strong malt, I would use less than 1/5 lb in a 5 gal batch!
.5 # caramel
.5 # chocolate (Too Much unless you like a little roasty taste in your brown ale. For more of a Newcastle like taste use about 1/4 lb)

4.75 gal at 152 for 60 mins ( Would mash at 154-155F to give you a someone sweeter beer like a real English Brown)
2.5 gal sparge at 168

Sg--- 1.046 - 1.048

Goldings 60 mins
UK Fuggle 30 mins
Pheonix 15 mins
Warflauc 15 mins What is total IBU's with your hop additions? I would shoot for 18-20 IBU. English Browns aren't bitter.

FG ---- 1.004 - 1.006

Please let me know if this looks right and any suggestions
