It's brown because it's dried-out, and dormant. Perhaps you watered too
frequently, and not deep enough, and it has a shallow root system to be
going brown so soon. It has stopped growing, and has gone dormant as a
survival mechanism.

If the root system is shallow, and you start watering it now, you'll go
broke trying to keep it watered enough. And if you wake it up, and it goes
dormant a second time, it may not come back.

If you fertilize it now, you might as well be spraying it with RoundUp.
Don't *ever* put fertilizer on anything that's already brown unless your
goal is to kill it while it's dormant.

Be a good time to topdress with sifted compost, adding organic material
will give you a bit more drought resistance.
