American Brown Ale - Feedback?

[g-funke]

Hey all,

Getting ready to brew an American brown ale this weekend, based on Jamil's Dirty Water Brown. Ive added a few more specialty malts as I have some spare that I want to use up.

Any feedback on the grain bill would be appreciated. I know I should be keeping it simple, but am keen to see how the brown malt and special B work together..

Cheers

Thanks mate. I realized I posted in the wrong section, so I reposted in the recipe section...

Spec b works very well in an american brown. I think there is something wrong with the details on colour there, your brown malt is labelled at190 L when it should be much less

Thanks mate. I got the brown malt from Daves. Hmmm. Just realised that it does seem high....
