We're going over tomorrow probably, making a Honey Brown Ale. With a totally un-tried recipe. I should probably post it up on here...

Hey buddy, looks the goods... A bit low in the IBUs tho? Youre also not going to have much of a hop flavour, but if thats what youre going for then all good :o) If you bump up the fermenting temp you might get some nice fruity esters with S-04 which might go well with the honey?

Is this gonna be a case swap beer?

It could well be in the running for a case-swap beer, hell, I hope all my beer is potential case-swap nominees :) I'm thinking a pretty low IBU to let the honey show through, its kind of a Honey Mild if you will...

It all sounds good to me. I'd also keep the temp as close to 17-18c as you can for the ferment to keep it nice & clean.

looks good. The only thing I might change is the boil time for your flavouring hops. I would make it 0-5 minutes, but definitely no more than 10. After that you start boiling out the essential oils and you end up with niether a bittering or flavouring/aroma affect. I think Tett are fairly high AA, are they not? Why not put in hallertauer for flavouring as well. That way it might be more balanced and even flavoured.
