OK, this my first recipe that I am willing to call a success. I was going for an American style IPA with a big citrus note, and I think I found it. I still have some hop tweaking to do, but I really like this result. Next time I'll probably add a bit more Amarillo since I like it so much.
Beersmith says this has 93.7 IBUs, but it really doesn't come across that way. Before I carbonated it, it had a rather Orange Tang flavor, but after 2 weeks sitting in the keg, its really nice. I already know I like it, but opinions are still much welcomed. I don't think either the biscuit or 2-row actually did anything, but I'd like opinions on that. I took a friend's advise, but I question his knowledge sometimes... Does a long steep and a pour-over sparge through a colander constitute a minimash?
