Call me crazy, but recent events have led me to really want to brew a huge-ass, balls-to-the-wall IIPA, no holds back kind of thing. I'm not at all a fan of cloying sweetness in my IIPAs (had DFH 120 and couldn't take more than a sip...), so I'm going for something more like Stone's Enjoy By, super dry with a focus on outrageous hoppiness, but with different hops/yeast/abv.
Below is my recipe, I have 8 oz in total of each of the 4 hop types (all pellets), so changes to amounts are good. How does this look? Is this hop combo going to be incredible or horrible? Is 20 oz too much for a tooth-enamel-stripping IIPA?
I'm expecting a good bit of absorbtion, so my bottling volume will probably be ~ 4 gals or so...
Also, this is basically a breakup-IIPA, so any appropriately-themed name for this occasion would more more than welcome. :rockin:
