Deliciously Hoppy Pale Ale (First All Grain)

[quark42]

Hi everyone, I just tried my first all grain batch, a pale ale focusing on hop flavor and aroma, rather than bitterness, and it came out fantastic. Here's the recipe, and I'm more then welcome to critiques on my recipe and process.

1.0 oz Amarillo 9.5% AA (dry hop)
