Process comments: My first try at a recipe of my own design. Grains in 2 mesh bags in 3.5 gal at 175 deg in the oven for an hour. Plus up to about 7 gallons and bring to a boil in the turkey fryer. Add extract and Warrior hops. Boil. Follow hopping instructions, cool, pitch, ferment, transfer to secondary, bottle.

Tasted great...like a good IPA with a really rich mouthfeel.
