i know this might be a stupid question but i have just does a all grain like your recipe clibit and just throught no sugar, why is it not needed.
You take a risk buying hops on eBay. If you buy from the right places 2013 hops will be fine, 2012 even should be decent and very usable. Worth buying at reduced prices. Method of storage makes a huge difference.

ahh ok guys thanks for the advice how much sediment would there roughly be as i have put it in my 5 gallon FV and for how much is there that's normally hitting the sediment
You can use any hops for any type of hopping. For bittering, the lower the AA% the more you need. Which is why high AA hops are generally used to bitter, but not always by any means. EKG and Fuggles are both used a lot for bittering English ales, for example.
I did my first AG yesterday, just 4.5 litres, using pilsner malt, crystal malt, and crystal rye (running before I can walk?), with centennial, cascade, and East Kent Goldings hops. I'll post how it turns out.
I think that's summit hops. Try a different hop, you won't get that aftertaste.
