Many of you are familiar with John Palmer's brewing book and its recipes. For my next brew I want to make a slightly higher alc. version of his APA (I want about 5.6 ABV). So, basically what I'm thinking is adding 1 lb. of light DME to the recipe.
The DME would go in with the 3.3 lb. of pale LME for the 60 minute 3-gallon boil. Then I'll add the remaining 3.3 lb LME at knockout. I'll also adjust the hop schedule up to get about 45 IBUs (I made a recipe at Hopville and came up with this approach, see below). Going to ferment with 1 pack of rehydrated Nottingham dry ale yeast.

Does this sound like a good recipe? Any details that I'm missing?
