I've been working on this recipe for the past few weeks. I've looked at many award winning recipes to get good grasp on the grain bill.

My main questions are:
1) Hop Schedule: I want a slightly hoppy beer. i want it to be more balanced then over the top. Does this hop schedule look ok? If not, I have Amarillo(6oz), Ahtanum(5oz), Centennial(4oz), Chinook(4oz), Magnum(2oz) & Nugget(4oz) hops in the freezer.

2) Yeast/Mash: I am using Pacman for the yeast and was planning on mashing at 152f. should i go for a higher or lower mash temp with pacman.

Keep in mind this is a 3.5 gallon batch.

I would think moving the Amarillo Gold to 15 minutes might increase the bitterness a little bit, but also help balance the hop flavor you'll get at the end. I don't know the answer to you're second question - sorry.
