I love this beer, by far one of the best IPAs I've had. I have the Union Jack recipe from Tasty McDole and the CYBI team and tried first just scaling that up, but with the hop utilization going down the tank with a 1.090 OG, upped the hops quite a bit. Also subbed Magnum for Warrior since that's what I have in stock, but I've heard they're similar in clean bittering quality. And man, all the hops are low in %AA this year. Has anyone else noticed this too?
Brewing tomorrow, hoping to get some feedback. It's my first IIPA too, so any general tips appreciated too! Note, I do have a 3L starter going right now for this.
