Hey there folks,
I've been brewing for nearly a year now, but mostly crazy stuff (the "I'm sure this could go into a brew" phase). Now I want to try my hand on something more classic; an american IPA. This recipe should not come as a surprise, except if I missed something, which is entirely possible. Any comment is welcome!
I'm aiming for crisp and powerful.
Thanks!
