Hi all. I know an imperial IPA isn't really a "Thanksgiving" beer, but I need to use up some hops in the freezer so I can buy some of the 2009 crop. So I was thinking about the recipe below and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions on it. I will be pitching on a large US-05 cake from a previous pale ale. My hops are chinook, amarillo, and cascade pellets. I also have some saaz, which i'll be using for a bohemian pilsner later this month after our child is born. Cheers!
