All Grain - Black Falcon IPA

[exparte]

I'm developing a recipe for a competition in a few months. I hoping to produce a roasty malt base with a big grapefruit hop presence, though I'm not sure if this is a good idea at all. So what I've done is taken damdaman's recipe from here, adapted it to my system, added some carapils (because I suck at head retention), and changed the hops to feature grapefruity goodness. The first attempt is probably hitting the kettle tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think.

I made something very similar recently but with about a pound of carfa II instead of 7 oz of carafa III and 7 oz chocolate. It turned out great!!

Well awesome. That's reassuring. Honestly, the more I stare at this recipe, the more I think it's going to be the best beer ever. Of course, that could just be the homebrew talking.
