Wonderful primus reference. Sorry I havent gotten into recipes quite yet.

The recipe looks pretty good to me, although I'd suggest swapping out the black patent for chocolate malt (and dropping the amount to ~.5-.75 lbs). As it stands you are more in stout/porter territory than brown ale. Otherwise I like the lack of crystal malt, and I think the oats and honey are good additions. Hope it turns out well.

It is actually a Breiss black malt @500 SRM i guess that is the same as Black Patent??? I will take it down to around .5lbs Thanks for the replies. hope to brew this weekend and i will update later.
