I've been thinking about trying one wanted to get some suggestions. I wanted to use Summit hops for the grapefruit/tangerine flavor and aroma. Any help would be appreciated.

I personally despise grapefruit flavors, but I know Citra's popular for that reason.
motorneuron said:It depends on how imperial you want your IPA, but I would up pretty much all of those additions I think. E.g., those bittering levels look low to me, but I may misunderstand your idea of what you're going for. If this is more of an ordinary IPA at around 60 IBUs, those levels are fine. I thought you were going for something that would be more like 100+ IBUs. Even if you don't want to go really bitter, though, I'd also up the aroma additions (including the knockout and dry hop; consider doing two dry hop additions of 1-1.5 oz each several days apart, for example).
