"Lazy extract brewer."
Interesting! Thanks for that.
I did see the 6-pack carrier, it claims the malts are Pilsner, Crisp, Carared, & Crystal and the hops are Pilgrim, Williamette, Cascade, Mosaic, & Amarillo.
Looks like the hops would be right on, but the malts are a little off. Still, it's more than I had before! Again, thanks.

Where do you think I got my information? 
Crisp is a maltster, not a malt. Pilsner is harder to find than plain pale two-row - you could just do a straight swap. The C in C40L and C80L stands for Crystal. Aromatic is the American version of melanoidin.

I didn't know Crisp was a maltster, but I did know about the "C" standing for either Crystal or Cara-, depending on brand.
I wonder why roasted barley isn't on the list I saw? I see it on the link you provided, I just wonder why they didn't put it on the 6-pack label, where I saw all the others.

Why would you add your first hops to the wort with only 30 minutes left of the boil? Does this make the smooth a smoother taste?
