This is a recipe that turned out to be a great beer. I intended for it to be an IPA and it is *almost* there. It has the bitterness and the aroma, but when I brew it again I am going to add another .5oz flavor addition around 20 minutes. The bitterness comes through and the biscuit and toast comes through from the grain so I want to add just a touch more hop flavor. This is only my second time trying first wort hopping and replacing the flavor addition removed just a touch too much of the hop flavor.
