I'm gonna need something to put in my 5gal better bottle once the batch of apfelwein that's in there is done. I was thinking a nice oaked IIPA, so how does this sound:

4gal batch (extract)
2gal boil volume - 60min boil

Est OG 1.084
Est FG 1.020
Est IBU 70.4
Est ABV 8.4%

1# Extra Light DME
.8# Wheat DME
7# Light LME (add after boil)

.6# munich
.4# crystal 40
.4# victory

.75oz Warrior (60min)
.25oz Warrior (15min)
.75oz Warrior (5min)
.5oz Warrior (dry hop)

1oz boiled oak chips (2 days)

Pacman (starter)
 
I'm definately not a pro when it comes to recipe formulation, but... I've always done late extract addition with around half of the total extract. I would probably eliminate the munich and find a way to include some simple sugar. Steep some two row with the other grains too, it helps. I would bitter with warrior, but use something else for your aroma and flavor additions. But then again, I base most of my recipes on clones. Good luck brother!
