Just butting in :D
I made a Bishop's Farewell with Fatconro11er's Cascade sample (recipe from Crookedeyeboy):

Bishop's Farewell
Fermentable Colour lb: oz Grams Ratio
Pale Malt 5 EBC 9 lbs. 14.7 oz 4500 grams 95.7%
Torrefied Wheat 4 EBC 0 lbs. 7.2 oz 205 grams 4.3%

Hop Variety Type Alpha Time lb: oz grams Ratio
Challenger Whole 7.6 % 90 mins 0 lbs. 1.4 oz 40 grams 43.4%
Cascade Whole 5.7 % 15 mins 0 lbs. 1.0 oz 27 grams 29.3%
Cascade Whole 5.7 % 0 mins 0 lbs. 0.9 oz 25 grams 27.3%

Final Volume: 23 Litres
Original Gravity: 1.051
Final Gravity: 1.012
Alcohol Content: 5.1% ABV
Total Liquor: 33 Litres
Mash Liquor: 11.8 Litres
Mash Efficiency: 83 %
Bitterness: 40 EBU
Colour: 8 EBC

Still conditioning but had a taste last night. Wow, the Cascade hops have really come through with the US-05 yeast, fan-bloody-tastic. The plant is doing great too, hopefully will get a decent amount of hops next year - none of my hops gave a terrific amount the first year. Must be due to bedding-in or something, got a small amount of hops (~50gm\plant) but hardly any aroma\taste out of them.
Thanks again Stuart.

Turned out great, a tad sweet maybe, but very nice.
Great hops fatcontroller, smelt great before they went, as it was a late additon
