6 oz. German/Weyermann CaraFoam (1.5-2 L)

1.5 oz. Perle (8% AA, 60 min.)
.5 oz. Warrior (16% AA, 60 min.)
.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 15 min.)
.5 oz. Perle (8% AA, 15 min.)

.5 oz. Cascade (dry-hopping)

Specialty grains are steeped in 2 gallons of water at 155 F for 30 mins. 3.3 lbs. of LME are added at start of boil. Remainder is added after 45 mins. (15 mins. before flameout).
 
I just racked the inaugural batch of APA.APA to secondary. Oh God, so good! The color is great (like a SNPA but without the red tones) and the taste...even at this raw stage I know it's going to be good...knock on wood. The bitterness is there but not overpowering. Nice aroma. I can't wait to try it after two weeks.
