Please provide some feedback on this recipe; I'm looking to get it going in the next week or so. Some of the choices are limited due to availability at my LHBS. I'm heavily borrowing from this recipe
Blonde Ale
Recipe Type: Extract
Yeast: Salafe S-05
Yeast Starter: No
Boil Size (Gallons): 3.5
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5

Ingredients
======================================
0.50 lb CaraPils (steeped)
0.50 lb Crystal 30L (steeped)
6.50 lb Light DME
Hops
======================================
0.75 oz Willamette at 60
0.75 oz Willamette at 20
1.0 oz Falconer's Flight at 1
___________________________________________________________
I don't have access to Extra Light DME/LME, and Cara Munich I (~35L from what I've read) is the lightest Crystal I can get.
I thought Falconer's Flight would be a fun addition at the end.
Any thoughts on this as a recipe? Adding/substituting hops, or their timings? Maybe dry hop? I'm an open book - I just want to make something that is fairly light and a crowd-pleaser.
