Amber recipe with leftover specialty grains ?

[dzlater]

Trying to brew an Amber Ale using up the specialty grains leftovers.
Does it look OK ?
For the base malt I have a few lbs. of Canadian 2row the rest of the 8 lbs. will be made of British Pale. For yeast I can either use some harvested  Wyeast 1318 London Ale III,  or I have a packet of BRY-97 west coast Ale

Looks good to me.  I would go for it.  It can be fun to make up a beer with leftovers just to see what you get.

Happy Brewing,

I'd go with w coast ale.  Just did an experiment using British ale yeast in am ipas, and while they are good, the Brit ale yeast gives a weird tart character in hop-forward beers.  Recipe looks great, good luck!
