Any feedback welcome!
 
I can't think of anything I would change - it looks good! I don't have any experience with brown malt personally, what is that like?

Yknow, I don't either -- I got interested in investigating it though after ready some posts on Ron Pattinson's blog about historic recipes. Figured I'd see what it could do!

My impression is that it adds a nice roastiness to the malt profile. I guess I'll know in a couple weeks!
 
That's kind of what I was thinking, a darker base malt like Vienna but darker, contributing roasty flavor without the burnt notes. Just as long as it isn't a crystal malt.
