English Brown Ale

[captaineriv]

I'm getting ready to make my first draft beer and I decided to brew an English brown for the occasion. I'm not following any particular recipe, so I thought I'd run the one I pulled out of nowhere by everyone.

9 lbs. English Pale malt
.5 lbs. Crystal (75L)
.75 lbs. Briess Special Roast (50L) (basically a biscuit malt, I believe)
.25 lbs. Chocolate malt
.5 oz. Target hops for 60 min.
1 oz. EK Goldings for last 15 min.
SRM=18.4
IBU=24

If the 9 lbs. of base malt looks like a lot, it's because I'm still struggling with an efficiency between 65% and 70% with my setup. Also, I'm not too concerned with what kind of English brown it'll be (Northern, Southern, etc.). Just seeing if everyone thinks it looks tasty. Thanks.

Looks very close to a london brown, maybe not quite as sweet as some. Should be fine.

david_42, your hopwine looks like suicide in a bottle. If we stop seeing any posts from you, how long should we wait before sending the coroner your way?
