Going to a big one, lightly worried about the hop schedule
But, I think it will work out, but looking for more feedback.

10 Lbs pale 2 row
7.5 lbs two Track Dakota M6 (like Munich)
1 lbs corn Sugar
OG should be around 1.106 Est FG 1.027 using Conan (mashing in at 148 infusion) for around 10.50%


hops weight time Notes:
apollo 1 oz FWH
Chinook 1 oz 20 min
Centennial 5ml 2 minutes hop oil extract
Pacifica 1 oz 0 min
Ella 1 oz 0 min
Vic Secret 1 oz WP @140 for 20 minutes
Citra 1 oz WP @140 for 20 minutes (Lupullin Powder)

Pacifica 1 oz 5 days
Ella 1 oz 5 days
Vic Secret 1 oz 5 days
Waimea 1 oz 5 days
citra 1 oz 5 days

I know it appears over the top, but I think they will help layer and not conflict. ... i think using the vic secret in a whirlpool and dry it'll pull out the orange and should work with all the citrus, while the earthy floral will help keep it grounded for a 10.5% beer.

thoughts? constructive criticism?

Imho, hop selection is a bit muddled. Pick two besides the Apollo that complement each other. Otherwise it might end up being this big beer with "hops". Ella and pacifica from your list should compliment nicely. Or Vic secret and citra. Maybe it doesn't matter in such a big beer. But, imhp, simplifying the hops will give the beer clarity.

Thanks, dropped the Ella, pacifica and went with more .,, well, still a little confusing, but also sparged to fast, so... efficiency was down . (1.076, should finish around 1.011)

Still 15 lbs 2 row, 2 lbs biscuit, 1/2 lbs honey, 1 lbs corn sugar
Apollo FWH
3 ML (25 ibu) at 60
5 ML centennial oil 2 min
5 ML citra oil 2 min
2 oz Denali 0 min
140 degree whirlpool, 1 oz citra lupullin powder, 2 oz vic secret
I let sit for 13 days, then dry hop with 1 oz lupullin, 2 oz denli, 2 oz vic for 5 days, then keg.

fermenting at 70 degrees on us-05
