I'm planning on brewing my first IIPA tomorrow, which I am hoping will be similar to Ruination.
I'm shooting for the low-end of ABV for the style, and trying to get a good amount of IBUs from late additions. The only hops I have on hand are Magnum and Centennial, although I could always pick some additional up from the LHBS.
Any thoughts? Too much crystal? Not enough Hops?
TIA
