Brown Ale Recipe Feedback

[RBK]

Not so American Brown Ale:

I used a American Brown Ale recipe as a basis for malts and then used some English Hops that I had on hand as a experiment and to save coin...

2 x 1.8 kg/3lb and 15.5 oz - Amber LME
.35 kg/12.3 oz - Medium Crystal
.15 kg/5.29 oz - Biscuit Malt
.15 kg/5.29oz - Chocolate Malt

Hops

25 grams/.88 oz - Target (UK) at 60min
15 grams/.52 oz - Fuggles at 30min
15 grams/.52 oz - Fuggles at 15min

Tasting notes:

The chocolate malt seemed slightly excessive to my taste. I was thinking of reducing it to .12 of a kg... and maybe halving the biscuit too...

I also thought I'd use Wilemette and Cascade for flavoring next time around - and overall I'd like to give it a slight more emphasis on the hops... and swap the Target for a generic clean local bittering hop that's cheaper...

Any ideas?

Looks good. Those hop substitutions will make a significant difference. What yeast did you use?
