Imperial IPA

This is the recipe for the Imperial IPA I brewed on March 8. It is loosely based on a pale ale I regularly make.
6 gallons, est. og of 1.092 at 80% eff.
16 lbs. Pale 2-row
2 lbs. Crystal 60L
1/2 lb. Carapils
1.5 oz Nugget (12% AA) @ 60 min.
1.5 oz Centennial (8.6% AA) @ 30 min.
1 oz Amarillo (9.8% AA) @ 10 min.
1 oz Amarillo (9.8% AA) @ 2 min.
2 oz Amarillo (9.8% AA) Dry Hop
Nottingham Ale Yeast (1 pack)
Whirlfloc @ 15 min.
Est. SRM 14.7, IBU = 87

I now realize theres too much crystal malt in here. When I do it again, I'll probably add another pound of pale malt, use 1/2 lb. of crystal 60, and add in a few oz. of roasted barley for color. Cheers!
