I'm taking another crack at an IPA. My first one, Paws, was okay, but nothing great. This is a direct attempt at a west coast style IPA. Huge hop profile, C hops, simcoe and a standard grain bill.
2 gallon batch
2 gallon batch
90% 2 Row

Hopped at 30 minutes with Columbus.
At 15, 5 and 0 with simcoe and centennial.
Also at flameout some more columbus.

I hit my OG of 1.066, should end up around 6.5% ABV.
I used leaf hops for the first time and the sucked about .5 gal of a 2 gal batch, which sucked. But it's in the fermenter with some rinsed 001 yeast. I'm hoping for a nice citrusy/piney bite with a huge nose and hop flavor. If it's good, this will be a staple.
