Hey guys,
This is the first time I have ever built a recipe from scratch. I've done about 6 kits before and have varied some things in the last few to make them my own. I wanted to run the recipe by some people to see if it looks alright and take any suggestions you may have for me. I put it together using Brewsmith and everything fell within the ranges of an American Pale Ale but I know that doesn't mean I am safe yet! I'm still doing extract boils:
