I'm working on yet another hoppy beer recipe that I'm calling, Twelfth Night IIPA. Initially, I wasn't trying to be gimmicky, but the grist just worked out that way. 12's for all the grains, 12 oz. hops, 112 minute mash, 112 IBUs (Garetz), 12 day 3-stage dryhop, 12 day primary, 12 day secondary. It's pretty easy to remember 
Brewed in the West Coast style, the goal is to have a supremely dry and clean, highly fermentable base with a nice marriage of hop bitterness and hop aroma. Piney up front, with citrus and fruit for support. Very American!! I could replace the Amarillo with CTZ for something more dank, and less citrusy/fruity. Still debating.
Carapils, C15, and Wheat malt for added body and head retention due to the long, low beta mash. A bit of Munich for slightly more character. Let me know what you think. I definitely want lower than 1.012 FG, or else I would change that too.
5.5 gallon batch
147 F, 112 minute mash
1.070 OG
1.010 FG
