It is but, but i get relatively crap efficency compared to some, its supposed to give you something around the 1048-1050 mark so if your efficency is better you can always use slightly less of everything.

Good luck with the brew Del & Garth, it seems to be a popular recipe. Maybe one for a future HH brewday.

mine's 15 mins into the boil, got good efficiency for once, had loads extra wort, but there is quite a bit leaf hop in this and I also lose a bit to deadspace so it's probably for the best.
did you settle on a SNPA recipe that you thought worked well Del?
I have come to the conclusion that it was the Magnum giving the harsh taste, I've since used Perle in three brews and no harshness in sight.
