Going to make this in a few weeks when my fermenter frees up. My friend and I came up with the idea of combining the hops from two pale ales we did (his was a Nelson, Pacifica, Pacific Jade with Warrior as the 60 minute and mine was a Citra and El Dorado hop burst) into an IPA. He suggested doing what Dogfish does and just mixing up all the flavor/aroma hops and doing them as late additions and dry hopping. I decided to throw in some Sorachi Ace in with them just to add to the fruit flavors. Since I only do 5 gallon extract batches and he does the full 10 gallon all grain brews it made sense for me to attempt this first. I already bought all the hops for this but any suggestions that can be provided will help alot.
