looks normal to me, but im only 2 brews in.

I was unsure about adding a whole pound of Pale Chocolate malt, thought it may be a bit much...but according to hopville it says w/ my hop additions it should be just on the sweeter 1/2 of the scale.

what is the problem w/ the yeast that comes with it? I brewed the TB Nut brown w/ the Ale yeast that came with it....just curious.

can you expand more on the yeast issue? I brewed a nut brown that i just bottled yesterday with the yeast packet, and it seemed to work pretty well, from an activity stand point anyway... the "brown ale" just seems to plain for me, so i wanted to add some grains and make it a bit hoppier.

Thanks!! figured that'd help me stay a bit warmer than sitting on my basement floor!
