try columbus amarillo and chinook for the hops, fat yak tastes surprisingly similar to a APA i make using these hops and the yeast to use is the american ale yeast from craftbrewer (us-56 or s05in fermentis) use a lot of hops in the second and final stages of the boil. i.e. 30 grams 60 minutes 30 grams 15 minutes and 30 grams 1 to 2 minutes. (these amounts are for illustration of the point only) aim for ibus to be around the mid 40s or higher. pale malt is all that is needed however the addition of a small amount of amber malt will make the flavour a little more malty. I swear they stole the recipe from me....lol. other possible substitutions include northern brewer, however dont over use this hop as it will dominate, balance with cascade, could also use small amounts of sauvin but if you do you should use a hop like chinook in equal or greater amounts. Happy brewing.
