Was hoping to get some feedback/advice on an IPA recipe I put together using 3 types of grain and 3 types of hops. I was wanting to do something with Galaxy and Simcoe, but I can't get enough Nelson hops in my IPAs, so I wanted to use that as well, and I figured they'd all play nicely together.
Any comments/suggestions welcome!
