SMaSH Recipe Feedback

[Cryovenom]

Hey Guys,

I've never made a SMaSH before but I figured I'd give it a try. I kind of modeled this from an APA I enjoy brewing (OG, IBU, ABV) but I'm not sure if this makes sense.

I do BIAB 10L (3gal) batches.

What do you guys think?

SMaSH! APA

I'd drink it!

Tried and true UK ale malt with a standard APA hop. Not going out on much of a limb here.
Looks like a pretty safe beer to me.

It looks good. Simple and straightforward. Less hoppy than I would brew it, but it will surely make a delicious Golden Ale.

Oh that's good. I was worried I was going overboard with the hop additions since other similar recipes I found were using 3oz for a 5gal batch when I'm using 3oz for a 2.5gal batch... but it's a lot of 5min, flameout, dry hop so I was hoping it wouldn't be unbalanced.

Not at all. It will surely be easy drinking and please most beer drinkers, most likely even those that don't drink craft specifically.

Now that I actually converted units from metric, I think it should be decently hoppy: 3 ounces for ~2.6 gallons.
