this sunday I'll brew my second American Pale Ale
this was my first, that's a good beer

http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2758" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I want to do a drier and bitter beer with less %ABV
so I did this recipe putting less CaraPils and without WheatMalt > for less body
mesh temp at 65° > more fermentable sugar > dryer beer
40 IBU instead 30IBU
what do you think about?
any advices or suggestions?
