90 min. boil. Single infusion mash at 150. Brewed 9/4/11. Had first bottle 10/28/11. Turned out AMAZING! Hands down the best IPA i've ever had let alone brewed. Hop aroma is intense, color beautiful. Flaked rye added a nice crispness. Nicely balanced.

Since this is my husband's recipe, I HAVE tried it and can honestly say, it's the BEST Imperial IPA have have ever consumed. It's extremely smooth and there's little after taste. It will, however, kick your butt!!! I HIGHLY recommend this to be a recipe to be tried.
