Any thoughts? I Hope this will have a killer hop aroma and flavor, while having a nice, bracing bitterness and a full, malty body. Please give me some recommendations.

Looks pretty damn delicious. I would probably add 8-12 oz of munich to give it a little malt lift, but other than that, looks great.

I've got my first "first-wort-hop" brew fermenting right now. You might look into that if you haven't already.

small note - the 'randall' link is not working foe me and I was looking forward to seeing yours - is it homemade?

 

[Orangevango]

oh, that was just a generic randal link...

I have not made one yet, its in the works though.
