Hoptoberfest All Grain Recipe

This recipe is the first non-kit recipe I did since I started all grain brewing and myself as well as others thought it turned out fairly good.   The concept was to have a grain bill in the Oktoberfest style but then hop it up with not necessarily hops that are in the style. I am still working on getting my efficiency higher, so I compensated with a little more grain to get the 7.5% ABV I got with this one.  This is for a 5 Gallon Batch, 60 minute boil, Mashed at 152.  If you brew this let me know your thoughts.
