Keep your first AG brew simple and you're gonna enjoy it, BiaB is also a simple way to make the transition to AG
 
Thats a big beer good luck!

Not to discourage you but a recipe like that should be saved for after you've ran a few brews thru your AG system so you can figure your numbers out, i'd hate to see something go not according to plan and you use that many hops, and your beer come out sub par, if not then go big or go home i guess lol

Also water plays a big role for AG so advise a water test

meh, with that much hops, he's likely to cover up a lot of mistakes. if he was doing something a little more sensitive, say a lager, then i'd say pay attention to it.

just make sure you got your pH in the right place (5.2-5.6), with that many hops, you may want to think about leaving some residual sweetness though. which means you may want to mash at around 154F or so. and then if you're using city water, treat it with some campden. then you should be good.
