SW1 - English Bitter

The last English Bitter I made was from a can kit, and it tasted terrible. It is with this trepidation that I come to making my first extract bitter modeled on SW1.
SW1 is not a particularly complex beer - it has British Crystal malt as it's specialty grains and used East Kent Goldings as it's bittering, flavouring and aroma hops.

Gravity: 1.038 (Target 1.039 - 1.041). FG 1.012 (Target 1.009-1.010)
Yield: 19 litres (target 18.9 litres)
Brew method: Extract with US batch sparging for the specialty grains
Notes: Straight forward brew. I Might have put the aroma hops in for a minute longer than I should have but I'm hoping this won't affect the smell.
