firestone walker pale 31

well this remains one of my favorite pale ales. so i figured id give it a whirl. i dont have too many brews under my belt so im sure this recipe will need a good bit of work, but this is what i have so far. its a bit off on ABV and such, but im still figuring out my efficiency anyhow so im sure it wont be exact anyways. what do you guys think?

You recipe looks solid, but have you seen this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/can-you-brew-recipe-firestone-walker-pale-31-a-189855/

They also did an interview with the brewer that might give you some hints on technique.

nice! dont know how i missed that thread thanks!

Don't know anything about that beer but I like your hop schedule.

well ive decided to not change this a bit and just brew it as its listed here. ill let you all know how it is!

how was it??

I didnt get a chance to make it until a week ago. i didnt have all the hops i needed so it got changed up a bit. I just ordered all the hops ill need to make it correctly later. You can see the recipe i used here:

well shes kegged and carbonated now. a bit hazey, but quite tastey!! i really like the earthiness i get from the fuggles. im sending this beer and a porter to a couple competitions in the next few weeks, cant wait to get some non-friendly feedback on my beer. would love for someone else to brew this up and let me know what they think!
