Brew #14: Kamra v2.0

I haven't brewed a beer in a while, so I decided to take a shot a reworking my Kamra v1.0 recipe.  The main thing I wanted to rework is adding more Challenger to get that spiciness to come through.  I also made some changes to the grain bill to make it more like a Brown Ale, since it will be winter when it's ready to drink.  Adding the 2% of chocolate malt was inspired by my Wufus Wainwight recipe, which turned out awesome.  Another change I made was adding late addition Fuggles, because Fuggle aroma is awesome, and to make the hops profile a little less one-dimensional.  I also plan on doing a bit higher carbonation level.
