I have brewed this kit twice and never wrote down what hops were used. If anyone is making this soon, I would love to know what hops are used and the alpha acids.
Thanks,
Jimmay.

It is very good as the brewers best kit itself. Still have not achieved this beer's complexity in a all grain form however. But it is probably my favorite of the Brewer's Best.

Great results from this kit. Friends and family drank it all rather quickly but I've saved 4 swing-top Grolsch bottles for later to see how it matures. I will definitely buy this kit again and +1 on being the favorite of the BB kits.
I have always just used the one packet supplied by the kit. It always attenuated out perfectly. US-05 has an alcohol tolerance of 12 %. If you want to be sure about the pitch rate, then use Mr. Malty (www.mrmalty.com). Also make sure you aerate the hell out of that wort once you are cooled down.

I just hydrated one pack of the US-05 and pitched it. Turned out just fine.
