Not to insult a great beer! But, has anyone attempted to tone down the Pliny clone and make an IPA instead an IIPA? I LOVE a good IPA, but IIPA's get to be too strong for me to really enjoy. I really want the same essence of the Pliny hops and character, but want a little lighter.. I'm looking for something around an OG of .065/.066, IBU's in the high 60's..
Do you think if I just cut the malt by X percent across the board incrementally to get me at the lower gravity then do the same for the hops would get me in the ball bark? If anyone has done it, do you happen to have a recipe? What do you think of the idea, beside that I want to ruin a great beer?
