Notes
Several people have brewed this and reported good results.
 
I am wanting to brew this up it sounds very tasty. I checked the place where I get my hops and it says 10.3 AA for Amarillo, pretty big difference from the 8.5 I was expecting.. I am also doing a partial mash, 4 gallon boil, then topped off at the end. Here is the recipe I have thrown together so far to kind of tame the AA for this brew. I skip the 60 minute hop addition and just go with regular FWH and start at the 15 and it still gives me a 22-23 ibu. What do you guys think ? Will this work ?

Or could that be a typo from AHS ? Every where I check they all have around 7-8.5 AA and only AHS is that high .
