I am embarking on building my own recipes and doing my first all grain batch after almost 2 years of brewing extract and partial mash recipe kits. I chose to do a Pale Ale because the recipes seem fairly simple. My first stab at it is below. Please provide constructive feedback specifically on the hops (my weakest area). Any suggestions/tips on recipe building and all grain brewing is appreciated at this point in time. I have a 10 gallon Igloo Converted Mash Tun, 10 gallon igloo Hot Liquor Tank, and a 8.5 Gallon Brew Pot. I do full boils and cool with a wort chiller.
If I am way off base with this recipe please let me know. Thanks!!
