I would ditch the "continuous hopping" schedule. Keep your FWH, but (if you want to stick with one hop and keep your IBU levels) I would add .5 oz @60, but then add .75 oz each @5 min and 0 min (flame out). That will give you more of the hop flavor and aroma that should exist in an APA. Anything you add outside of 10 minutes from the end of the boil just will only add bittering and won't give you much (if any) flavor or aroma. Just something to think about...

(or if you want to keep the continuous hopping, do 10 minutes and 0 minutes instead of 10 and 5)

Thanks, I have to admit, that hopping schedule was just a gimmick to say we'd done it. Try splitting a 1 oz pack of pellets into 6 even sections, on 4 22s of RIS (there were two of us). I am getting ready to do a partial mash RIS that we are going to age for 4 years. Ive only done extract + steep before this one, so we were using this as a practice brew to try and do an intermediate complexity brew day. The ingredients were so simple we just threw an arbitrary complexity in there so that we wouldn't think this was a piece of cake, and it made us realize its easy to get distracted from the boil timer!

The beer is still fresh, we'll have to see how it finishes up! Thanks for the hints, this wont be the last time I brew something similar to this, although next time I may up the vienna and add a small amount of roasted something, I am just worn out on roasted barleys right now so I wanted to go for a burnt-free beer on this one.
