Thankfully you don't have to spell 'chrysalis' the Caterpillar Changing room ;)
From the Pacific Gem bittering addition which were First Wort Hops I got 18 IBU calculated in BeerEngine on a 60min boil.
The Wheat malt is fairly irrelevant, you could sub it with Pale Malt.

My late hopping is pretty massive, you could easily save 10g+ on each of those additions if you want a bit more tame beer :)
My original version of this beer was bloody good and much more session-able.

Tar chap. I was thinking about spliting some of them there late hops between steep and hopback, i mite get a more powerful aroma too, so will drop the late hops back a third i recon.

Just emailed patsy at hop and grape about ETA of the Blichman Hoprocket...!

pdtnc i might have a go at this myself as my latest order from Rob the maltmiller has just arrived with my cascade and i have a weakness for award winning ale's :) it will be a user up for my centennial as well, but might have to adjust the grain bill slightly as i dont have enough lager malt so pale malt will have to substitute.
I was going to follow the hop schedule exactly (albeit ammended for my shorter brew length) but your comment regarding ORBY V1 has left me in a quandary as i have a very few session brews at the moment but absolutly love big hoppy brews, hell think i have just answered my question or have i #-o

Right i like a good slap in the chops from me hops so its V1.2 or at least almost low on wheat malt a tad and only a quarter of lager malt that i need (hell where have all my grains gone is SWIMBO and the ankle snapper scoffing me grains) so replaced with pale malt all weighed out ready for tomorrow i also came across a 500g bag of carafa 11 mmmm what do you think about 75-100g in the mix make it somewhat darker ???
