Hi Guys,
Brand new to BIAB and brewing in general. I've spent about a week on the site digesting the biabacus, reading through forum posts, watching videos and reading How to Brew. It's a lot to take in and some of it is still confusing but I'm sure a lot more will make sense (and perhaps more questions will arise) when the rubber meets the road and I run my first brew this weekend.
I've decided to run the NRB's All Amarillo APA from the BIABacus as my first try since it sounds pretty...

Everything looks okay, but I would ditch the amber malt for the IPA (unless somebody here can vouch for it).
Considering the low gravity, 7.7% would be okay for a direct substitution with crystal malt. If you want roast, I would drop it to about 5% and sub in something like Victory, Biscuit or Aromatic malt. Those are much less intense than the amber, which I think will clash with the added hoppiness (which I assume you want this to be more forward).
Also, more dry hops! I would quadruple...
