Ok I am a fairly new brewer can trying to create my first recipe. I brewed blacklab's Cascades/Orange Pale Ale and it turned out great. I have a lb of columbus and a lb of cascade on hand so I thought of taking that recipe and trying to turn it into a IIPA. Please let me know if this is a terrible idea to begin with. I know it is not really creating a recipe since it is pretty much the same as blacklabs but I just wanted to try something different. Here is what I have so far and any suggestions are much appreciated.
