I just began drinking this beer last week and it has become one of my favorites. It is the best IPA I've ever made. The name is a play on Dogfish's 90 Minute IPA. I broke mine down into seconds, because every second counts!
The CWS represents the hops used. If you decide to brew this, let me know what you think. I'll be making it again later this summer. Keep in mind that these gravities are actuals, but my effeciency was only 62% - much lower than my normal 75%.
