Thoughts on this recipe?

[Redimpz]

Tomorrows brew is a bit of a user upper as far as grain goes. I am also trialling the Aromatic malt to see what it gives.
2500g Pilsener Malt
1500 Munich
100g Aromatic
200g Oats (for body)

I originally thought of 250g of the Aromatic but after smelling it I thought I'd better cut back a bit, it has a strong smell.
Hops available are:- first gold 50g, fuggles190g, ekg100g, wgv100g, northdown65g, magnum55g, cascade150g, bobek70g, Willamette50g, chinook50g, challenger 20g.
I have Nottingham, S-04, and US-05 available for yeast options.
Any inspired thoughts or suggestions as to hops and yeast? I had thought of possibly some magnum as a bittering hop with late additions of Willamette, Chinook and possibly cascade and using the US-05. Only thing is I'm not sure what effect the aromatic malt will have on those hops and whether the results would be ok.

Your plan is sound. The Aromatic Malt should simply add a nice biscuity/toasty note which will go nice in an APA like you propose. And of course I love the oat addition.

Thanks Seymour, I was hoping that the aromatic wouldn't be too much out of character. I picked up the Oats idea from yourself and it does seem to help so about 200g goes in most brews these days. I'll probably go for:-
20g Magnum @60 mins
25g Willamette @10
25g Chinook @10
25g Willamette @0
25g Chinook @0
10g Cascade @0
Unless there are any better suggestions.
Not put too much Cascade in as it has a strong flavour and I don't want it to take over.

Your plan sounds spot on and is what I was thinking reading through the hop and yeast selection. Should have a nice malty backbone from the Munich and Aromatic.

Looks delicious, don't change a thing. If you think Cascade is strong, Chinook is stronger. But like I said, don't change a thing.

Happy brewing!

Ok, it's all done, yeast pitched and all the cleaning up done. Gravity is at 1.050 and there looks to be about 20l in the bucket. Hopefully there shall be signs of life before bedtime.

I will be interested to hear what you think of the beer. I suspect however that adding the Willamette won't get you much because the Chinook will completely dominate the flavor and aroma. You can use the malt base to experiment with different hop varieties; we have some interesting new stuff coming out over here and our buddies down under also have several strains that might be fun to play with.
