Personally, I would cut the Crystal 40 down maybe to 0.5 lb. I think at a pound it would detract what you're trying to do with the hops. Maybe even cut out the Vienna to keep the grain bill simple.

Did you brew this? I love Galaxy and I have a whole bag of Belma in the freezer that I don't know what to do with.

I have an almost identical recipe that has won a ton of medals ...Belma and Galaxy is a winner
