So I've made a fair amount of IPA's and I've decided that I like the fruity/citrusy hops the most, so I'd like to make a hoppy IPA that showcases these flavors and aromas.
I quickly threw this together tonight and I like to hear what you think. The dry hop additions are per fermentor, so the total amount needed is double that listed. Is there a way to cut down on hop usage and still get an abundance of hop flavor and aroma? Will this hop combination work well together?
