The only potential pitfall I foresee is that it might be too much flameout hops, but I think there's malt enough to stand up to it... Interested in others' thoughts. By the way, we'll be using WY 1468, the Taylor's strain.

unless I'm reading wrong all your hops are going in at 60 minuets!

Sorry, it's a quirk with Brewmate. Aroma hops in at flameout and steeped for 60mins.

When you put the aroma hops into brewmateyou can still put the time to 0. It doesn't make any difference to the calculations of course but saves any chance of confusion on brewday... :wink:


EDIT: Nice recipe by that way - I really like columbus.
