I've not been brewing for awhile, so thought I'd need a few beers for Christmas / New Year. Also I like to brew something different this time of year and use up any odds and sods I've got in my malt bucket.
I've come across this recipe for Whitbread Double Brown Ale (1954)...

Looking in my odds and sods buckets I've got...
1.3kg - Golden Promise Malt
1.3kg - Maris Otter Malt
1.5kg - Mild Ale Malt
100g - Chocolate Malt
100g - Caraf III Special
500g - Special B Malt
200g - Wheat Malt
5kg Malt Total and leaves the bucket almost empty, except for some Carapils and Crystal Malt.
The only hops i have is 100g of leaf Bramling Cross, which I intend to add to boil in equal amounts (33g) at 60, 30, 15 mins.
I know I'm not following the recipe! Especially the No. 3 invert. What do you guys think?
In the recipe calc thingy it comes out at...
ABV 5
IBU 50
SRM 25
