Looks OK to me. Just a different take on SNPA. I love Cascade, I grow them, and make a couple of Cascade prominent Pale Ales each year when I get the new crop.

I will add hops at @30mins instead of @60mins, to prevent too much bitterness. Does it make sense to you? Or I don't need to consider this for Cascade? Cheers

I regularly do a simple pale ale with all cascade. I love it, but i’m admittedly shooting for that pale ale that was popular 15 years ago.

I do normally use a 60 minute addition but I’ve also gone latter. This will be great.

This will also be a simple recipe that you can play with and nail down you grain bill to exactly what you want after a couple brews.

Just throwing this out there but I would go with Maris Otter for a pale...for me it gives a nice malty backbone that balances well with Cascade hops...Pilsner and 2 Row just don’t do it for me for a pale...you may even want to consider Golden Promise as well...again just a thought the recipe looks good as is

It looks good to me, never be afraid to use the grains you have. You will never know how something will turn out until you try it. I know that there are certain grains that I don't like in my pale ales but I never would have known it unless I tried it. Good or bad they all end up in the toilet.

Classic!
