I only have gypsum and CaCl to work with, so I couldn't mess with carbonate level etc for English water profiles. Was more or less going for "London" but not sure that is even appropriate for this style.

Notes

Previous brown ale was not what I wanted, a bit sweet and caramelly. What I want is more like Goodbeer Facuets / Nide Beer's "Endless Brown Ale", which has a hint of coffee taste to it.

Only reason I split the caramel between C60 and C75 is that's what I had in my freezer. Otherwise would have just gone with all C60

Changed up the hop schedule from other brown ale as well, since I had forgotten the adjust the AA% for the hops I had on hand, which were rated much lower than the default setting here (I guess that's why it was not even remotely bitter).



This turned out like crap. Overly sweet and thin.
