So my girlfriend got me a Brewer's Best IPA kit for Christmas. I have done a few batches of just using the ingredients in the kit and wanted to branch out and add my own spin to the homebrews I do. So, I've been toying with turning the IPA kit into an Imperial IPA. I used a Magazine with 250 clone recipes and was combined a few IIPAs together that I particularly enjoy as commercial brews. Shooting for a big West Coast IIPA. This is what I worked out using the beercalculus website. Please let me know if I am way off on this one or not. This may be too complicated of a hopping schedule for what I was going though. All the hops would be leaf hops except for the Columbus which are hop pellets. Thanks! Cheers!
