I've been putting together a recipe for a Double IPA and I would like some criticism on what I've got so far. I'm pretty familiar with the hops I've chosen but as far as steeping grains I'm kind of just getting ideas from other recipes. I've made some pales that were pretty bland on the malt end, so I continue to experiment with whatever I can. Also not 100% set on the yeast, but I've yet to try 0002 so it could be a nice change.
