I plan to brew this this weekend and was wondering what your thoughts were. I thought I would try first wort hopping and I adjusted the IBU to be the same as for a 20 min addition. Was this the way to go? I also added the dextrine malt because I listened to the Jamil show on CAPs and and he...

Here is my first stab at a label, it isn't too fancy but I like it: It is the name of the AG kit I bought so I thought I would run with it. No real significance to it. As you can see, it is for a gift.
