So, I am doing a last minute brew . . . didn't have time to fully research a good recipe for a Northern English Brown Ale. I am working with Pro-Mash and the BJCP guidelines to put one together. Grains are already mashed in and I am trying to put together a hop scale.
BJCP says 20-30 IBUs. I know that this style is very lightly hopped. Dave Miller's guide says to keep it at 5 AAUs with no flavor or finishing hops.
I want to use Northern Brewers, but to stay in these guidelines would mean using only 0.5 oz, according to Pro-Mash. Is this right? Do I want to add more hops than this? I am not overly concerned with brewing to guidelines.
Recipe:
6.5 lbs. 2-Row
0.5 lbs. Crystal 120L
4 oz Chocolate Malt
2 oz. Cara-Foam
1 lb Dark Brown Sugar
