Bringing this thread back to life...I brewed this in September and it is gone. Shared some with the friend who introduced me to home brewing and he loved it. Tomorrow I plan on doing another batch while introducing a potential new brewer to the hobby. Hops away!
 
I'm pretty fired up at this recipe and will be gathering the supplies this week. This will be my first deviation from in the box recipe kits so I do have a couple of questions. First, is this a standard 3 gallon of water starter? Second, what do the percentages after the DME mean? Third, the grain type, British Amber Malt, and my local supply store carries Crisp Amber Malt. Is this the same or would it completely destroy the recipe? Any other suggestions?

Cheers!

The percentages should add up to 100% for the grains. If you input recipes into programs they usually tell you the percent of each. The recipe is for a 5 gallon batch (primary) so depending on your brew kettle size 3 gallon wort is probably good option. Not sure about the amber malt. You can check with the store but since it's a small percent of the grains it is probably ok. Good luck! Take good notes!

I would do a five gallon boil if possible. With this many hops and ibus you may not get the hop utilization you want from the recipe with three gallons.
 
I'm posting because in interested in replicating. I haven't done an IPA yet and this one caught my eye. Thanks for the post.
