I have 2 oz. of Kent Goldings so I thought how about an English Brown? Never done one. It's a 2.5 gallon batch (3.25 gal. boil) and the hops amount just seems so low but I guess it works out in Brewtarget. Can someone take a look? I have two hops additions. Would a single 60 or 45 minute addition be appropriate? I want to make sure the backbone is pretty malty but bitter enough.
