Can you recomend a change?
It's 5 gallon batch.
I once made a Cascade and Perle IPA that was really good but it was Extract. I would really like to make an all grains batch using those hops.
This is what I get out of that.

This is going to be one big hoppy beer that's for sure. Now what "I" would do different is this.
I would drop the 20L and go with 3/4# - 1# of 60L, add a 1/2# of Cara-Pils and I would dry hop with 1oz of both hops for 2 weeks.
