Notes
The EIPA (East India Pale Ale) is my attempt at an all-grain IPA. The idea was to use a simple combination of pleasant, unassuming malts as the base for a complex hops schedule. It's certainly a Northwest-style IPA (meaning the emphasis is heavy on the hop bitterness and hop flavor) but I don't think the bitterness will overwhelm the flavors of either the hops themselves or even the malts. And for what it's worth, I named it the East India Pale Ale because of the use of Columbus hops and flaked corn (get it?... Columbus, "discoverer" of the Americas which were the home of corn and which were mistakenly called the East Indies?... sorry, it's hard to come up with a clever name these days).
