Northern English Brown

Next beer to be brewed is going to be a Northern English Brown Ale. I've looked at numerous recipes to get a good idea of how most of them are built. Here is what I've come up with for the style.

Mash at 150F for 90 minutes.

8# Marris Otter
1# Victory
.5# Crystal 120L
.25# British Chocolate Malt

Boil for 90 minutes.
1.5 oz UK Fuggles @ 60
.5 oz UK Fuggles @ 10

WLP002 - English Ale Yeast

Specification Targets:
OG: 1.051
FG: 1.013
IBU 25.6
SRM 21

Style Guidelines
OG: 1.040 - 1.052
FG: 1.008 - 1.013
IBU: 20-30
SRM: 12-22

This should be on the upper end of the ABV scale at 5%, mid hoppyness for the style, and on the darker end.

Should be fun.
