Hi Alanrage

This is looking like an American Pale with a bit of a grapefruit twist? I haven't done the calcs, but it looks OK.

I did something similar in the winter which included the zest of 2 oranges in the boil and fermented at 16 degrees with some random lager yeast. It worked really well.

......by the way. Personally, I wouldn't add the crystal, especially if you want a light BBQ bee that will really let the hops come through.
