I'm not a fan of IPA's but I'm coming around and am definitely able to appreciate them more since I started home brewing but need some help with an Imperial IPA recipe that I want to make for SWMBO's brother, who loves IPA's. Here's what I have so far, so critique away, as I'm trying to learn about variations on the style.
