I'm going to brew a Landlord best bitter based on the Northern Brewer clone recipe here:

I'll stick with the 60/45/5 hop additions in the recipe (Fuggle / EKG / Styrians), but I'm thinking I will also add an ounce of homegrown Willamette flowers at 5 minutes.  My homegrown hops smell nice, but I'm not at the point where I like to rely on them for my sole additions at any stage.  Adding them in this way seems like a good way to use them.

The extra ounce of Willamette should only add a few IBUs at most, but I'm wondering... for those who have brewed this beer before, do you think that 2 ounces of 5 minute hops is too much for the style?

I say go for it! Willamette should be a fine complementary hop for the style, and should not be too overwhelming.

Thanks for the reply.  After posting, it occurred to me to move the Willamettes to flameout.  I think that's what I'll do.
