Corsendonk / IPA

[McBainne]

I'm planning on making a Belgian IPA for one of my next batches. I'm thinking of using a Corsendonk Abbey Pale Ale Clone as a base with Wyeast Belgian Abbey II #1762, and a hop schedule similar to what's used in Flying Dog's Raging *****. Any comments or recommendations are appreciated.

2 lb 4 oz Pale Malt (2-Row)

Misc:
1/4 oz Orange Bitter Peel (5 min Boil)
1/4 oz Orange Sweet Peel (5 min Boil)

You got it Warren, after having Flying Dogs Belgian IPA I can't wait to try this. I've only been brewing since June of this year but it's opened me up to a lot of beers I never knew existed. Cascadian Dark Ale will be coming soon after.
