Tried brewing my second brown ale today, an American brown, to be precise. First one was a complete screw up with a totally stck mash (had a bunch of oats in it but the vessel I was using was more the issue). It turned out nice but it much more of a porter than a brown.
Today, I think, if I'm lucky, I brewed a red, otherwise, it's going to be a hoppy amber.

Actually hit my numbers, which is only the second time since doing AG: pre-boil 1055, post-boil 1061
Was aiming for 67 mash temp but let it drop down to 64 at one stage, due to divided attention.
Did two cubes, will dry hop one and leave the other neat to compare flavours. Both will be US05.
