My carboy will be free this weekend.

This is my second brew, first recipe. I'm trying to make something
with a definite bitter hop presence but more malty than an IPA.
Also, is there any reason not to add the Goldings at flameout?

Anyone care to comment?

looks like a solid recipe with one exception. the goldings at flameout aren't a problem but you'll probably want some at around 15-20 minutes too. I'd say an ounce at 15 minutes and an ounce at flameout. adjust the bittering hops to maintain your desired IBU.

I figured some should get boil time.

I think I'll just let the IBU bump to 41 instead of having
to use less than an ounce of magnum as I'm not going
to brew again for ~1 month. The goal of 39/40 was
just to stay within style, but it really doesn't matter
that much. I love hops.

Thanks!
