looks pretty tasty. i like your hop choices a lot. i usually shoot for more IBU in my CDA's, but i'm a totally hop head.

I agree. I particularly like the simcoe/amarillo combo. I'd drink it!

it's amazing in IPA's and other really hopped up american beers. the CDA i'm drinking currently is all Simcoe/amarillo late in the boil, horizon to bitter as to save the yummy Simcoes for their true calling.

I have an IPA currently in the fermenter that was bittered with magnum and then all Amarillo/Simcoe 15 to 0. Will dry hop with both in the keg. Yummy!

I read your blog and decided to up the hops a little and add a 30 min hop addition. hopefully will be brewing this tomorrow

i like the 30 min addition in a beer like that, it helps the bitterness come through the darker malt a bit better, IMO. it also lends a bit of deep flavor.

chicky, i like magnums a lot too for bittering. i'd say 90% of my american ale are bittered with either magnum or horizon.

I'd cut the carapils and add a bit of choc malt to the grain bill, literally just a couple ounces.
