I don’t have much experience with Special Roast, so I can’t comment on that specifically, but if you’re already using MO as your base malt I think you can skip the Victory.

Otherwise I think the recipe looks fine. I like a bit more Crystal malt in my brown ales, but that’s partly a matter of taste and partly because I try to keep my browns in the 1.040 range so I look to the crystal for some extra body.

What did you end up deciding and how did it turn out?

Maybe put some melons in there…

Need to make it a Southern English Brown ale. Benny Hill was from about as far south as you can get.
