Notes

Super tasty, but like all my darker beers on the Robobrew this came out darker than I planned. More like a porter than a brown. This may or not be an issue with your brew system, or this might be a Brewers Friend problem. Basically, YMMV.

Original recipe:
9# Pale Ale Malt
1# 60L
1# Victory (28L)
8oz Chocoloate (350L)

New recipe:
Reduce chocolate to 4oz.
This is just below the recommended range for color, so I will see how it actually turns out.
