I'll bite. I find that I like a slightly lighter Crystal in my IIPA, otherwise after the longer boil it comes out a little bit higher SRM than originally anticipated. I tried to make one about 9SRM and it came out to about 12ish or so. Granted, you are using a herms system and shouldn't change the color, right? Also, as much as I have wanted to go with a single malt and a little crystal, I always enjoy using a little bit of rye or some flaked something to add with a little bit of smoothness and body. Rye is one of those flavors that adds some extra maltiness to me.

Good luck.

Thanks for the ideas... how much Rye?

Definitely keeping it simple.

At 7% the C60 has a caramel sweetness which will come through strong, I think, although the US-05 yeast will attenuate more than the English yeast I used in my IIPA which will dry it out more balancing toward the hops. You could use less crystal with a dark crystal like 90 which would make me more comfortable you won't overwhelm the hop character.

Mash temp is good for the yeast IMO. Hop bill will be excellent. I'd brew this with confidence it'd be a good beer as is.

I love amarillo. This sounds tasty.

need something to give it a touch of body and as a matter of preference I'd go with a lighter crystal.

I think I would add 1# of flaked barley if I was going to use that yeast for this beer. I would also boost your FWH to 2 oz. If you're gonna make DBL kill it with the hops! Remember a DBL is a BIG beer! Magnum is a good choice to complement the Amarillo, but you need to add some Amarillo. Magnum is one of those hops that will take over if you let it, and the FWH will get lost in that hop schedule if you don't add a little more. IMHO of course.
Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I have about 9 pounds of hops and want to start using them. I see a lot of bigger beers coming my way.
