I've got a couple extract (kits) batches under my belt and now want to venture out into the unknown and create my own recipe. The following is what I've come up with after doing a bit of research. I've been reading a lot about adding late hops (20 minutes) to get a stronger hop flavor and aroma without the strong bitterness and wanted to try it for this recipe. I am also set on simcoe and amarillo cause I love the combination. Any suggestions are much appreciated. As I said, I really have no idea what the hell I'm doing or what it's gonna taste like so please help me out. Just plugging stuff into the software...
Cheers!
