Hi all,
This may be one of those "it's not gonna make a difference" questions, but thought I'd ask those wiser than I to make sure.
I've got an AHS American Amber Ale kit (partial mash) that uses 2 oz of Amarillo hops throughout the boil that I'll be cookin' up soon. I also have a 1/4 oz of both Warrior and Cascade hops left over from a previous kit that I thought I'd use up since they're still fresh.
I figure an extra 1/2 oz of hops won't really change the complexion of the beer that much and always happy to have a hoppier beer. So, I am planning to throw them in as follows (following the recipe, except for my extra hop additions):
Thoughts? Concerns? Other ideas?
Thanks much!

- 60 Minutes - 1 oz Amarillo + 1/4 oz Warrior
- 15 minutes - 1/2 oz Amarillo
- 5 minutes - 1/2 oz Amarillo
- 0 minutes - 1/4 oz Cascade
Thoughts? Concerns? Other ideas?
Thanks much!
