Replace Will. hops with Palisade. Mash in at 152F for 60 Min. Sparge as usual. Boil time: 90 min. Use continuous hopping - slowly add measured amounts of hops over time into boil rather than adding all at once. Cool and ferment at 71-74. Age and enjoy.

I made this today, OG was right on, had to juggle some hops to get all the IBU's - I did 6.5 gallons though, so everything was a bit larger. Will update as batch goes on. J UPDATE: 12/31/2006 Just finished bottling, WOW, curl your toe hair hoppy! My OG was 1.086, FG was 1.009 so I labled this as 10/100 IPA. Dry hopping makes this beer. I can't wait for this to finish, too bad it won't be ready for new years day. I'll update after first tasting at 5 days. 4 stars so far -- J

This beer is great. The hops rule. The simcoes are really prevalent in the finish and give it a citrus touch. The ABV is impressive also. I'll be making this again, but will probably back off on the alcohol so that I can enjoy/remember drinking more than one of two!! J More stars now that i't finished
