On the hunt for a biscuity/nutty ale with nice hoppy character without too much bitterness hiding the malt. Not really into the darker malts at the mo so tried caramalt instead of crystal.
Brewed this yesterday, a recipe of my own creation but I'm wondering if I have overdone the hop's a little to achieve my aims? If I age it will that help?

Brew went well although I was down on my efficiency from last brew 70% vs 76.5%. I think this is because of the larger grain bill, it gets tricky for me to sparge effectively over 4.5kg it would seem. Sparged in a separate pot 3 times with 3L of 77c water, I think I should have done four.
Pitched last night and have a healthy foam on top so all good
Would appreciate any thoughts, especially from folk using maxi biab, thanks in advance.
