So I've never created a recipe myself, but I really want too :rockin:

I'm in LOVE with Lagunitas Imperial Red so I decided I wanted to make a redish colored Imperial IPA. I've played around with beertools and this is what I came up with. Any suggestions/telling me how wrong I am? I admit I know very little about this, but kind of winged it.

Feedback/Suggestions welcomed and encouraged!

Thank you in advance!

If you want an imperiala IPA then you need a lot more late hops. ~2oz's at flame out, ~+2 dry hop. Then probably a couple more ounces added sometime under 15ish
