Second Brew

Since my testing boosted my confidence last night, I decided to brew up my second batch today. I am making a blonde ale that may or may not have a portion become chili ale. It depends on how the ale itself comes out.

Anyways, the recipe thusfar: 5 gal batch, 4# Dry Light Pilsen Malt, 2# Dry Light Golden Malt, 1# 20L Crystal Malt, 2/3# cane sugar, 1 tsp Irish Moss, Safeale US-05 yeast.

Hops: 1 oz. Cascade 5.8 AA at 60 min, .5 oz. Cascade 5.8 AA at 3 min.

My OG is at 1.061 which is exactly in line with what online calculators predicted, so I seem to have done everything right. It's gone fairly smoothly so far, just waiting for the wort to cool so I can pitch the rehydrated yeast.
