Dank's Cousin IPA (Pliny Spinoff)

[RootDownBrewing]

This is going to be my next IPA. I plan on brewing this beer next weekend and documenting the process as I go with pictures. My goal here is to achieve a smooth bitterness with a ton of hop flavor. Piney, citrusy, grapefuit, and floral notes are what I'm after.

Feedback/criticism is appreciated. Regardless I'm pumped to be back at it!

I mash at 148 for my IPAs. I like them dry. I also suggest to drop the Cara/Caramel for Munich+a little white wheat and flaked oats.
