I've done Munich and Victory with good results. I like to occasionally throw in a non-traditional grain in my IPAs. Variety is the spice of life!

The amount of amber malt looks fine. I wouldn't put it in my ipa but i would love to try one that was someone else's!
I never put Crystal in my ipas. 2 row, munich, chinook and cascade, is my go to for my house ipa.

I've done a "German IPA" using only Munich, K-97 German yeast and German Hops....Came out pretty darn good too.

I've stopped using crystal in IPAs recently, as well. Been getting away from 2-row, also, towards Maris Otter. Because, why not?


Lately, they've either been all Maris Otter, or 2-row with Munich or Vienna, generally dependent upon which bin I see first at my LHBS.

Cool....I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks everyone!
