New American Pale Ale recipe thoughts

[laithclark]

Hi there

I am putting the finishing touches to a new recipe I put together, here is the Beersmith output, its a 19 litre All Grain brew - I'm calling it Astoria Pale Ale. It has Hop Oil as the dry hop alternative too.

If you have any suggestions I'd be most grateful - thanks

All looks good to me, though I've never used oils.

Will be interested to hear how it turns out with the use of the hop oil.
I chucked about 5ml of citrus hop oil into a corny contains a bit of a failure brew. Rubbish hop that made it really bitter so it was on the brink of being put down the drain. Whilst not brilliant at least the addition of the hop oil made it drinkable.
Out of interest where did you get your hop oils from?

Thanks for the comments both of you. The Oils are 'Hop Burst' from Charles Faram

I think it will be really interesting to see how they affect the taste.

Brew day tomorrow!
