Hi,
I've been looking up some recipes for making both a Brown ale and an Irish Red. These are all extract plus specialty grain recipes and I wanted to ask, as they look fairly similar, is in people's experience the brown ale the same specialty grains as red ale but in a larger quantity?
These are the recipes I am using found in various places online

I'm not too worried about the bitterness of the red ale as I want to use a Muntons Irish Cream ale base. For the brown ale i've got some spare kohatu hops that I can use for bittering. Probably around 50 grams for 30 minutes in the boil.
The Brown ale I am trying to get something similar to a northern english brown style and the red a creamy irish red. Has anyone brewed these before and have any tips?
Thanks!
