I'm sorry I missed this one. This looks pretty good. I love Nelson and Cascade. I'm sure it's too late but I might would've subbed the Carapils for flaked wheat for body, mouthfeel but either will work. I'd like to hear how this turns out. I'm getting ready to brew an IPA with Columbus and Cascade myself. I'd love to use some Nelson but it isn't available at LHBS. I'll be ordering some for next one though.
