Go 4 to 5!

I would drop the crystal out of your grist completely. Use summit and Apollo for bittering and mid boil, then go crazy. In any case it will be hard not to make a tasty beer with the hops you've got.

Gonna put a suggestion for crystal hops out there. Often overlooked, but has a really wonderful spicy lemon quality. Rouges brutal bitter or ninkasi's total domination are descent examples.

yeah, and if your going to pitch pedio you pretty much have to also pitch brett to consume all the diacetyl that the pedio will produce. also... i think keeping the sugar at ten percent max of the fermentables is usually a good thing.

yeah they use a variant of wlp 550; which i think is the chouffe yeast for primary fermentation. then into the oak. you should consult the two 'can you brew it' episodes for their beers. lots of really awesome info in the interviews.
