I had a bunch of BMC drinkers, and "I don't like hoppy beer" drinkers destroy a keg of this in no time at a BBQ in my backyard. It destroyed them in return, with an ABV of about 9% :drunk:
 
Congrats on being the very top result on a Google search for double ipa "all grain". Looks good!
 
I know this is a old post but its still the top result on Google for All Grain IPA, if the OP is still here or of if anyone knows the annswer to the following question that would be tits. Was the corn sugar added just to bring up the OG? and if so is it needed? I want to try this but Im not a fan of adding extra sugars if they arent needed.
 
I've made this beer twice now and cannot seem to hit the target gravity.

The first attempt was my first ever all-grain brew and I only achieved an OG of 1.062. I mashed and sparged rather quickly and suspect that my grains weren't properly cracked (from Morebeer). The resultant beer was a light, bright, clean, and dry IPA that smelled delicious and was very drinkable. It turned out great.

After a few more all grain brews under my belt I decided to try this recipe again today. We mashed for 90 minutes at approximately 150 degrees and sparged with 170 degree water for one hour. The boil went well and once we took the reading (expecting an OG of close to 1.090) we had a whopping 1.065 gravity. I don't know what I'm doing wrong??

On the plus side, it should make a fantastic single IPA with a simple bready malt and heavy late hop additions with not too many bittering hops. I'm still excited to see how this turns out.

I replaced the Galena hops with Citra hops. The aroma is very nice
