Howdy guys,
First the BIABacus question. In section M there is a pre-lauter gravity (PLG) efficiency input that I'm confused with. For this brew I just guessed and used the same gravity as GIK. (Just so I'm clear and perhaps actually learning something the GIK is the measure of how much of the theoretical sugars were actually extracted from the grains during the mash/ mashout process measured before the boil). This time around I made a conscious effort to keep notes and take measurements,,,,I did better than usual but I have room to improve. If there is anything that looks off on my BIABacus for Caribou Slobber I'd be glad to hear it.
Now for the recipe part.
After the last brew (Centennial Blonde) I noticed a distinctive fruity aroma (what little I was able to taste before it was stolen,,but I digress) that was unlike any other brew I had made. I'm attributing this to the Centennial hops but I'm open to other suggestions on this. This has inspired me to become more familiar with particular hops and their impact on beer. What I would like to find is a good general purpose single hop amber ale (but I'm flexible on this) that could be made with perhaps 3 or so different hops . The Blonde is made with Cascade only so this recipe might even be a candidate but I don't know which other hops to experiment with or if it's a good recipe for this. Figure this might give me a better idea of how different hops work.
Hook me up folks.

But I think that my recipe has cascade in it as well? The blond is a clean crisp brew that mw allow the flavor and aroma of a single hop show through. 
. It's like a Rube Goldberg way of making a mug of green tea. 
I wonder if I'm being taken advantage of????? Gosh I hope so.
