You should seriously invest in a copy of How to Brew by John Palmer.
Then read it.

I would completely agree. I have been cruzing that book for a while as I am starting my homebrews and it has proven invaluable. Cheers!

Next time you can add crystal 120 to the recipe. I find that malt to be a caramel bomb. It will also leave some residual sweetness.
