Pilgrim Single Hop AG Recipe

[NorthEastBrewer]

Afternoon all!

With the recent Pilgrim hops competition [thanks again Stevie!], i'm considering the following recipe.

I'm very new to AG brewing but have been brewing partials and kits for years. I thought i'd put together a simple recipe.

[I like Seymour's recipe templates, as you'll notice below!]

======
Barny's Pilgrim Single Hop Exploration

22-ish Liters

GRAINBILL
95.2% = 4000 g, Pale Malt [Maris Otter]
4.8% = 200 g, Crystal Malt [135 EBC]
TOTAL: 4.2 kg

MASH - 90 minutes. 66°C for 90 min, increase temp to 77°C, hold 10 min.

SPARGE to collect 28 L pre boil volume. [Grainfather setup]

BOIL - 60 minutes, reduce to 22-ish L.

HOPS
25 g, Pilgrim, 60 min
25 g, Pilgrim, 15 min
50 g, Pilgrim, 0 min - steep 20 minutes whilst counter flow chilling into FV.

OTHER
3 g, Irish Moss, 15 min

YEAST
Wyeast 1318 London Ale III, ferment at 18°C.

STATS (75% mash efficiency, 75% yeast apparent attenuation)
OG: 1048
FG: 1012
ABV: 4.7%
IBU: 47.5
COLOUR: 15 EBC

I have done a Salifert Alkilinitity test on our supply and confirmed that it is currently reading at: 1.13 meq/L

which I read as: 56.5 mg/L as CaCo3

How does this recipe look folks?

Sorry for jumping on the band wagon, can create a separate thread if you want. Thanks again Steve for giving more hops to play with!
I'm thinking of using (at least some of) my winnings in place of the galaxy and summit hops in the repeat of my Vienna pale ale. (4.7kg Vienna, 300g caramalt)

Was thinking
25g of leftover phoenix at 60 mins
20g pilgrim at 15mins
30g pilgrim at flameout

Then trying a golden ale with just pale malt later with
20g pilgrim at 60mins
30g pilgrim at 30mins
15g of both summit and galaxy at 10mins
15g of both summit and galaxy at 5mins
20g of both summit and galaxy for a 30min hop stand.
Still need to have a play with brewers friend to see how these look on paper.

They're ok, they're meant to have spicy and molasses flavours and are supposed to be similar to EKG and challenger.

I bought them to dry hop a Scottish heavy kit, which I had added a tin of treacle to already, kind of got lost in there.
I then used 25g in my 1st stove top AG, minimal flavour as I used some (too much) coffee malt.

They where pretty cheap in my LHBS, they wouldn't be top of my hop list to repeat. Guessing the remainder will be good for bittering.
