Notes

American Blend is usually a blend of Cascade and Centennial. Have used Amarillo, Mosaic and Falconers Flight with good results. Just not an overpowering hop like Citra or Chinook.
Hop stand hops go in @ 180°, continue cooling until 165°, whirlpool for a minute and rest for 20 minutes. Continue to cool to 65°, transfer leaving Trub behind, aerate and pitch. Keep fermentation @ 65° for 3 days then raise to 68°. After 1 week, raise to 70-72° for another week. If you cold crash, make sure to prevent any oxygen ingress.
