Gold Rush IPA

I got some notes on my Chinook IPA, and made this.  I was planning on using Chinook in here as well, but I couldn't get a hold of any.

That looks delicious, but honestly, I'd ditch the cara-pils.  You have plenty of grain there for body, plenty of hops for head retention and mouthfeel.  It serves no real purpose.

That said...I'd love to try it!

I thought of that when I was typing that post. "With that much grain, what is 12 oz of CaraPils adding to it?"

It will be at Fhilo's place for the meeting tomorrow

You should search for a video in YouTube called Brewing on the Ones. Great ideas there.

Looks nice hope to give this a try tomorrow...
