I just emailed Deschutes and got a reply with an ingredients list for their Buzzsaw Brown. It's about as specific as any of their website recipes are. I messed around with BrewTarget, trying to put something together that follows American Brown style guidelines. Please chime in and give me some critiques as far as percentages.

Sorry for the terrible formatting, but the text exported from BrewTarget doesn't get much better. I haven't read Daniels, but I found a beer blog on brown ales that referenced his book. I tried to stay fairly close to his recommendations, within the confines of the ingredients provided. How does this look? I'm trying to learn as much as I can as far as creating recipes. IBU/GU sits at .38, so slightly malty, which seems to style. I know to be an American Brown, it should be a little more hoppy. Feel free to blow up that hop schedule. I have no idea where to go with that.
Let the comments/critiques fly! And thanks for the help!
As an aside, is there any way to fix this formatting issue? Any BrewTarget users out there solved this?
