First original recipe 5 gallon batch

[meyersbrewingcompany]

I am looking for ideas for my first original all grain 5 gallon batch (using BIAB.) I want to make a brown ale but I’m not sure where to start since all I’ve done thus far are recipe kits! Any ideas would be helpful!

My go to is:

8lbs Maris Otter
2 lbs Aromatic Malt
12 oz Special B
12 oz Cara 60L
12 oz Flaked Oats
4 oz Chocolate Malt

0.5 oz Columbus and Willamette at 60 minutes
1.5 oz Willamette at flame out

Wyeast 1056

I Mash it at 154F

Lots of malt flavor with some back side sweetness

Since were both in the Chicago area I also add 1 gram of calcium chloride to keep the pH in check but its probably minuscule for the recipe.

I always refer to the https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipes/ site for ideas personally.

Janets Brown Ale has been on my to do list for a while. The one on the this website above is not the same has the one on brewing classic styles though not sure why.

This the one i've been wanting to do.

I can also vouch for Janet's brown if you want a hoppy style. Below is one that started out as a sort of kitchen sink brown, but it went over so well I keep brewing the same grainbill (this is for 3 gals). You could probably use regular chocolate in place of the pale + midnight wheat. I've made it with Willamette and EKG - using about an oz per 5 gals at 5 min and then whatever addition at 60 to get about 24-26 IBU's.
