So I've got some WL002 going that I can use to make another beer in a week and a half. I'm using cavman's bitter galaxy as a starting point. The main difference will be more alcohol and hops. but also different hops b/c I don't have any galaxy right now. (still waiting to hear from Ted!)
The malt part of the recipe will be pretty straight forward. ETA: This is a 10 gallon batch.
? lbs pale ale malt (could be GP, MO, Optic or some combo of those to hit 1.058 on my system)
1 lbs C40
mash @ 150F
I'll mostly use gypsum along with a little CaCl to lower my mash pH.
boil time will be 30 mins b/c that's how I roll now.
now for the hops I'm kind of up in the air. I have a solid selection of stuff I could use. I think I'll probably go for about 50 IBUs overall.
I tend to use Columbus to bitter my pale ales and IPAs now. I think it could work here too.
I'll have to check my notes but I think just did 30 mins and then a WP hop for the bitter galaxy. I think for this beer I'll do an addition at flameout and then do a WP addition. and of course there will be dry hopping on at least one keg 
so for flavor/aroma hops I was thinking some mosaic might be good. I also have centennial but I've never used those two together so I don't what know it's like. other options are the ever present citra, Chinook and simcoe. also Amarillo, mt hood, EKG. you guys have any thoughts here? the hop game is weakest aspect of my recipe formulation.

. after I bought it I read that it's not quite as rich as MO so I'm not sure what I'll think. I assume it won't be bad though!
