    Morning everyone.

    I got a True Brew "brown ale" kit for christmas, and Im looking at altering it a bit to more of an American Brown Ale...

    Here is whats in the kit:

    1 can Dark LME
    2 lbs Dark DME
    Malto-Dextrin 8 oz
    UK First Gold Hop Pellets. 1 oz (60 minute)

    Im thinking of Adding

    1 lbs. Pale Chocolate Malt
    2 oz Crystal Malt

    Boil 45 mins .25 East Kent Goldings leaf
    boil 15 mins .25 East Kent Goldings leaf
    boil 1 min 0.5 Willamette leaf


    This is what im getting on a recipe creator:

    Original Gravity
    1.050 / 12.4° Plato
    (1.045 to 1.052)

    Final Gravity
    1.013 / 3.3° Plato
    (1.011 to 1.013)

    Color
    28° SRM / 56° EBC
    (Dark Brown to Black)

    Bitterness
    24.3 IBU / 7 HBU
