From BeerSmith:
IBU 126.9
SRM 14.9
ABV 10.1%

Mashed in with 30.75 quarts of water, mash at 154F for 75 minutes.
Drained mash tun, batch sparge with 3.5 gallons of water. (collected 8 gallons Pre-Boil, gravity 1.072)
Boil for 90 minutes following hop schedule above. Whirlfloc tablet at 15 minutes. Chill wort, transfer and pitch yeast. Primary for 4 weeks, secondary for 3 weeks, dry hop for final 5 days. Kegged and served at 2.3 volumes CO2.

This started as my attempt at a clone of Thomas Creek's Up The Creek Extreme IPA. However, I lightened it up a bit in color and malt character, and scaled the IBU's back just a bit to fit the IIPA style guidelines better. The beer is dangerously drinkable, not for everyone, but definitely a winner with my hop head friends.
