So the following recipe was loosely based on Janet's Brown Ale from Brewing Classic Styles. My question is. Did I go too crazy on the hops? Is this beer going to end up being more of an India Brown than an American Brown ale. Our local competition is coming up and I'm not sure if I should enter it as a specialty beer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
