Hello everyone,
Recently I've been trying to experiment with creating my own recipes. For the past year I've been doing all grain batches with the wonderful recipes on this forum (and there are many). Usually I make 5 gallon batches, but want to try and use a BIAB setup to experiment with smaller volumes. I constructed the following IPA recipe in Beersmith. I wanted to make an IPA that had some citrus and honey overtones and that has a medium body. Any thoughts?
