Planning an American-style Brown Ale. I've got over a dozen AG batches behind me, and no real duds.
I know I tend to favour over-complication, using 7 malts when a couple may do the trick, so would like some feedback on this recipe I've devised:

Joe White Pale - 66.7%
Briess Victory - 8.3%
Simpsons Wheat - 8.3%
JW Chocolate - 5%
JW Crystal - 5%
Gambrinus Honey - 5%
Weyermann Carafa II - 1.7%

Mash 62 deg / 70 deg - 30 min / 30 min

FWH - 20 IBU Williamette
10 min - 5 IBU Williamette

yeast - Lutra Kveik
OG 1.051 FG 1.013
EBC 46 BU/GU 0.5
 
Do a search for Janet's Brown Ale recipe. You won't be disappointed and it's a rite of passage for most. RIP Tasty.
 
Thanks, it was one of the recipes I used to guide mine, but wanted to skip the corn syrup. Might throw in some cascade at flameout based on this though.

And part of the plan with this one is to use Lutra Kveik as I'm trying out harvesting from a previous batch for the first time.

Corn syrup will help dry it out slightly and stop it being so cloying without killing the flavour.
Normal white table sugar will work just as well. (personally I'd go for 300-400g in the boil and drop the IBU's a couple of points)
