To me, that's the quintessential IPA.....Right about the 1.065 range. I've made tons of them very much like this with variations of specialty grains and hop mixtures. Not a one is bad and everyone could be my house IPA.
I've got 5 lbs of white wheat and wasn't sure how much I should use so this gives me a good idea.
I did one similar recently but added some Cascade with the Amarillo and Simcoe which I like. And then my favorite so far added some Citra. It was my NOLA Hopocalypse.

Roger...that looks like a great recipe. I may have to give it a shot if you don't mind. Have you shared that on the BeerSmith recipe site?

[Kealia]

Roger/Paul,

Both of those look great. And to think two years ago I didn't like IPAs at all.

[Beer-lord]

I'm working on another one right now to take advantage of all the hops I have in stock. I'll likely switch back and forth before I decide for sure but I want to make and drink so many IPA's I start to hate them.
Don't hold your breath as this may take awhile.
