Hey everyone, I am going to start brewing sat. morning and thought I would throw this up for a last review. Nothing can be taken out of the grain bill, but perhaps a bit can be added (had it shipped from brewmaster's warehouse and it is all pre-mixed).

Don't worry about the boil time and efficiency I have already discussed that... in detail, with some of my homebrew group and fine individuals here.
My biggest concern is that the amarillo doesn't really go together with the rest of the hops. Yet without it, it really isn't going to have a good "hop punch". I have a few other hops at my disposal and I wouldn't be too upset if I had to pick up an oz or two of something else. But here are the other hops I have in stock.
have a little (.25-.5)oz of Simcoe, 1-1.5 oz Warrior, 1.00oz Chinook,
and MAYBE 0.50 oz of Centennial laying around somewhere. Otherwise a ton of willamette, amarillo, and columbus wasting space in the freezer.'
Thanks in advance!
