I'm about to take my next step on my homebrewing journey. I'm planning on brewing a pale ale tomorrow with ingredients I put together myself, as opposed to buying a kit. But I would appreciate some input before I brew it so I don't waste perfectly good supplies on a crappy beer.
I have 2 lbs of Amber DME and 3 lbs of Pilsen DME, 1 lb of Crystal 60L, 2 ounces of Cascade 5.0, and US-05 yeast. I was planning on using 1 ounce of the hops for a 60 minute boil, and doing .5 at 30 and .5 at 10 minutes. I'm hoping for a nice, easy drinking pale ale for the summer. Am I on the right track?
