I am developing my first recipe and would love some feedback. I have never done anything but kits before!
I am shooting for an American Pale Ale with a citrusy finish through a Partial Mash Process. 5 gallons.
3 lbs light LME
2 lbs light DME
2.5 lbs American 2-row Pale
.5 lbs Carmel - 20L
.25 lbs Carmel - 80L
.5 oz Summit (18.5%)- 60 minutes
.5 oz Nelson Sauvin (12 %) - 10 minutes
1 oz Cascade (6%) - Dry hopped
White Labs California Ale WP001
Any thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated!

Looks good to me. Never heard of the Nelson Sauvin hops. Do you have an IBU number and expected gravities.

I like it! I'd consider moving the nelson sauvin to 15 or 20 minutes, another cascade (or nelson sauvin) addition at 5 minutes or 1 minute, in addition to the dryhops. Otherwise, I wouldn't change it at all!

I agree with Yooper. She's always promoting adding more late hop additions...and who doesn't like that! Moving the current 10 min addition to 15/20 and additing a late hop addition will give you more flavor and aroma. Should be great, especially for your first recipe.

More late hops. Do 1/2oz at 10min, 1/2oz at 5min, and 1/2oz of 0min. Use whichever hops you like for those additions.
Recipe looks nice otherwise.

Some people report onion when bittering with Summit. Not me, but some people.
BTW, in my mind, this beer will end up a lot like Widmer Bros Drifter. Is that the inspiration?

Quick question: Why use LME and DME in the same recipe? Do you get different characteristics in the beer?

Good question, and one I had a little while ago. Here are the responses I got.

I just used Summit for the first time in my IPA. Used it at 60 and DH and no onion, just delicious fruity notes.
