I made this as an honorary beer for my daughter Ava who placed first overall at her gymnastics meet, Twisters is the team name. In my opinion it has a balanced bitterness that isn't overpowering, and a lot of hop flavor, especially the citrus notes.

Single infusion at 150 for 60 mins
Efficiency 76%
60 minute boil of 7 gallons to compensate for loss to hop sludge and break material

OG 1.067
FG 1.012

IBU 79

Yeast
Wyeast Ringwood Ale - one gallon starter

Fermented 68-70 F
Dry hops added to bucket on day 4
Racked to keg 8 days later

Pure deliciousness, although I may add another ounce to the dry hop next time.

Let me know if you all would change anything
 
Love the hop schedule...the crystal seems a little high, but if you're mashing at 150, maybe its ok. I wouldn't have used Ringwood in an extremely hoppy beer, mainly because I would think that it would get covered up by all the hops.
