Hey guys,
With winter on the way, I thought of starting to brew so browns/blacks. I thought I might start with a Newcastle Brown clone and modify it after each brew to my taste.
I havn't had a brown for a couple of years so am going to pick some up tomorrow.
This is what I come up with as a start.
I'd like some feedback or recipes of other clones people have made please.
Cheers.

Yours looks okay even though you have a fair whack of crystal in it.

yep, i would back off on the crystal to 200g tops. maybe start at 200g and work back from there...
 
I'd keep it a bit simpler. Drop the carapils, drop the munich, back off the crystal 60 a bit as the other guys have suggested.
 
thanks for the replies guys, let you know how it goes
