Yeah that's what I've been tinkering with. Not sure about setting up properly but can play with hops/grains and see an idea of what it might be like.
The next beer....

Just use chocolate as oppose to Munich and Barley?

Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 5.11 %
Bitterness (IBU): 36.1
Boil Time (Minutes): 60
4.500 kg Maris Otter Malt (92.98%)
0.340 kg Caramalt (7.02%)
10.0 g Zeus Leaf (16.7% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes
15.0 g Centennial Leaf (11.5% Alpha) @ 15 Minutes
20.0 g Amarillo Leaf (8.9% Alpha) @ 5 Minutes
20.0 g Citra Leaf (14.4% Alpha) @ 5 Minutes

You could add IBU's with more Zeus. You could also use 1469 yeast, can get you some. It's lager coloured, you could add 40g Roast Barley just to darken it a bit.

Excellent!! Ta very much.

Think adding more IBU may be good to. Currently really liking the hopped up beers at present and good summer drinking I reckon.
Hopped up could be more late hops with same bitterness. Do you you want it very bitter? Or just big hop flavour/ aroma? Or both? I think below 30 is low bitterness, 30 to 40 is in the middle, 40+ is bitter. 60+ very bitter.
done 5 fermenting no. 6 atm , so we're about neck and neck.
I am a quick learner though and this 'internet thing gummy bob' has a wealth of advice to help cut down on newbie mistakes.
My brew no.2 I had to bottle using a jug! (was careful not to aerate when doing this)

Go for 40-45 tops and with and with the hop flavour aroma too. Not asking for much am I.

Seen on forums people making Amarillo beers. All get good reviews.
Citra, Amarillo and Centennial all get great reviews. Three fantastic USA hops, Simcoe is another, all different, all great on their own and work well in combinations too.
If I could keep a football squad of hops that I've brewed with in constant supply I reckon they'd be:
Team: Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo, Centennial, Columbus, First Gold, Northdown, Bobek, Green Bullet, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin.
Subs: Challenger, EKG, Aurora, Chinook, Northern Brewer, Brewer's Gold.
Difficult decisions though. The subs are all good enough for the team. But Challenger are a kind of EKG/Northdown substitute, EKG are close to First Gold, Aurora is like a higher alpha Bobek, Nothern Brewer was used to breed Northdown, Bobek and Aurora, and I find some similarity between Brewer's gold and Centennial (which was bred from Brewer's Gold), Centennial having more citrus and intensity.

Think a possibly citrusy finishing taste would be good in this next brew.

Think that's maybe what I'm trying to get at with this brew. And that's what I associate American style ales I'm liking with at present.
I've upped the IBU's, upped the Caramalt a bit and added some post boil Citra:

Will order hops tomoz. I'll check if LHBS do the grains I require. Got gypsum. Irish miss a plenty. Roll on brewday!!!
Galaxy & Amarillo go well together. Will repeat that brew, but still to many other brews to try first. I fancy a simcoe ahtanum and chinook next.

Bulk of grains purchased from LHBS and owner tells me closing next month. That's a pity.
