I've put together a recipe for my first attempt at an extract (with steeping grains) DIIPA. I'm interested in trying out both Simcoe and Columbus, so I thought I'd use those two hops primarily. I haven't made a hop-bomb of a beer yet, and I decided it's about time.
Any thoughts on the hop schedule - is it going to be too bitter? I do love bitter, but I don't want it to be too strong. I could change the 30 minute additions, but I'm not really sure what kind of target IBU I should be going for.
Beer Smith estimates 9.1% ABV.
