So I am putting beer smith to work and designing an Imperial IPA recipe which will showcase the amarillo/simcoe combo with a little columbus thrown in the mix. Please let me know how my recipe looks and how I could improve it. Any thoughts on the specific hop schedule/mix would be greatly appreciated. Also, how do you guys feel about my adding 2 oz's of chocolate malt to this recipe in order to darken it up a bit?
