Brown Ale: one small misguided step for homebrewer's everywhere

The brown ale mistakes were similar to those committed during the brewing of the Belgian Witbier.

The only other mistake we made aside from those mentioned with the Belgian (No straining, etc.), was that we did not fill the carboy to 5.25 gallons! meaning we skewed the recipe to a higher sugar content, meaning the beer was ultimately more alcoholic(by volume) than desired.
