So I'm going into "budget mode" for the next few months, I'm going to repeat 3-4 of the same beers to keep it cheap with common ingredients and allow me to perfect some recipes. I do 3 gallon batches so I can brew more frequently and I don't have old stock sitting around.
I just bought 1lb each of 2008 hops

I am concerned that the APA and the blonde will taste too much alike with such similar grain bills. Does anyone think this will be a problem, any suggestions otherwise?
