Alright guys, so I am putting together an IIPA for a contest that I am entering here locally. Winner gets to brew with a local brew master, so I am really trying to step it up. I am using some unique hops that I have in the freezer (pellets) and trying to blend bittering with some amazing aroma. If you have any suggestions please pass them along as I am going to brew this up next weekend. I have attached the BeerSmith file and pasted it below. Let me know if there are things you would change or what your thoughts are.
