Amber ale with three hop combinations.

I made a new beer, and I think it's going to be good. Here is the story:
6 pounds amber liquid malt extract. 1 pound briess sparkling amber dry malt extract. 1 ounce U.S. Goldings hops 60-minute boil. One ounce Liberty hops, 45-minute boil, and 1 ounce Willamette hops for 15 minutes. One cup of brown sugar. Original gravity is 1.060. Yeast is Danstar Windsor Ale yeast. Alternative is Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale yeast in a smack pack. Going to try to ferment at a cool temperature to limit esther creation.

At the same time I bought a sixer of Bell's Amber and I am trying to harvest the yeast. They make some good beer.
