how does this recipe look? i brewed this the other day and then realized that my beersmith settings set on "extract" rather than "partial mash" (even though i used my own equipment profile that has all the info for my partial mash setup--4.25 g boil, single infusion, batch sparge, late addition extract). when i switched to the "partial mash" setting, all my numbers were screwy. does this look like a reasonable recipe? i'm worried that my hops will be minimal and the alcohol too high for an american pale ale. thanks!

Yep, you're going to be at less than 30 IBU's, but not disasterously far off. You could always boil-up some hops, or add some oak chips to give it a tannin backbone. I think you'll be fine regardless.
 
i realize i wouldn't get any ibu's from dry hopping, but do you think doubling the dry hop might help?
 
It is going to be a bit sweet as is. If you jack up the dry hops the end result might be like drinking a boquet of flowers, particularly with the Amarillo.
 
Dammit technology! I say through in another .5oz dry hop at most, though honestly I would probably just wait it out and see how it tastes.
