ey guys, i am doing an IPA on friday. I want to brew something that will be medium bodied and very very hoppy (but not overly bitter) with lots of citrus flavor.
Please let me know what you think and offer any suggestions. I have only been getting about 55% efficiency, so please consider that when looking at the recipe, as I know it seems like a lot of grians for just an IPA.......
