Belgian Wheat IPA (help)

[thisgoestoeleven]

I want to brew an wheat IPA with Belgian yeast, and I'm a little unsure where to start. Should I make an IPA, and just ferment it with Belgian yeast, or make a Belgian ale and hop the bejesus out of it? I'm limited to extract and specialty grains. I'm hoping I'll be able to get ingredients tomorrow or the next day, and then brew on Saturday. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

I've had good luck with designing IPAs & DIPAs and then just hitting them with WLP 530. I was using that particular strain for a local contest. Hell, hit an IPA with some candi sugar and some belgian yeast and let the good times roll. It's homebrewing. You can always make alterations to get it right next time.

I came up with this recipe, loosely based on an IPA I made this past winter.

Oh! I was picturing a lot more wheat. Hell, I'm bottling an IPA tomorrow that is half wheat in the grain bill. Regardless, combining Belgian yeast with American IPAs has yet to let me down.

I've had great luck with WL abbey ale yeast, wheat LME, candi sugar with amarillo and sorachi ace. Something like 1064 gravity, great for an extract!
