You suck, idiot.

Oh wait you were talking about the recipe... I got nothin'. Sounds interesting though.

That's a pretty huge beer with very little hops. What style is it supposed to be? A brown? seems like its going to be too high of an OG for one.

A scotch ale? ESB? "Malty Bastard" ale... I'd go with that.

Ha, Chex Mix. That's a good one.

Maybe it is a low grade english barleywine? your OG is looking up around 1.085 and your IBUs are only 18.5.

What exactly are you aiming for? I'm sure folks will be more helpful if you explain your goal with this recipe.

I'd cut back on the lbs of malt. It's probably not going to be too balanced even if you are looking for it to be malty/sweet. There are specific grains and adjuncts you can use that will give you the body you want.

I did something hair brained like this recipe when I first started brewing...in case you caouldn't guess it didn't turn out well. It looks like you've got a mash-up of two styles, a cream ale and an english bitter. It's best to choose one or the other. As general rule of thumb, I try to go for only 3 malts and 3 hops max. Something like this would work:

*Disclaimer*I'm not using any software on these numbers, just off the top of my head, so you may need to add a pound of base malt to get it to whatever ABV you're looking for.

Cream Ale:
6 lbs. American 2 row
1/2 lbs. 20L malt
1/4 lbs. Honey Malt
1/2 oz. Kent Golding 4.9%alpha (60min)
1/2 oz. Saaz whole leaf 7.8%alpha (30min)
Irish moss (15min)
1/2 oz. Czech Saaz pellets (5min)
US05/WLP001 Yeast (suggestion)

English Bitter or ESB
6 lbs. English 2 row
1/2 lbs. 60L malt
1/2 lb. biscuit malt
1/2 oz. Kent Golding 4.9%alpha (60min)
1/2 oz. Kent Golding 4.9%alpha (30min)
Irish moss (15min)
English Ale yeast

Not my first recipe. I've been brewing for years and thought I would try something out of the box and odd.
