Hello HBT community! I drank a pint of Deschutes Brewery's Hop Henge the other day and loved it... it was over 10% ABV and 95 IBU's, and it was a great Imperial IPA. I'd like to brew something similar, although slightly different, and I was looking on their website where they list the malts and hop varieties used (http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/recipe/hop-henge-clone) to help me formulate my recipe. Although I've brewed many different recipes, I am still rather new to formulating my own recipes... I'd really appreciate it if some of you wouldn't mind looking over the recipe that I've come up with and letting me know if you have any suggestions!
