Thoughts on an APA recipe featuring Galaxy and Amarillo? Thinking of using the hops 50/50 with a first wort hop, a 10 minute hop, and a 10 minute hop stand, for a total of about 45 IBUs. Has anyone used these two popular hops as a combination, or does anyone have any thoughts about how this...

I am interested in joining a homebrew club in the Twin Cities. There are a number of local clubs listed on the AHA website, but its hard to tell which ones are active, and what the clubs' philosophies/culture are all about. A couple of clubs that jumped out to me due to their websites are the...
