Aurora has a slight spiciness to it, which I thought would go well with the Glacier (earthy citrus) and Magnum (Fairly neutral, noble-ish).

2lbs Sucrose.
4oz Crystal 150

2oz Carafa Special I
2oz Carafa Special III

4.5oz Magnum 10% @ 120
1.5oz Glacier 5.6% @ 60
1.5oz Magnum 10% @ 45
1.5oz Aurora 8% @ 20
1.5oz Glacier 5.6% @ flame-out
1.5oz Aurora 8% @ flame-out

Forgot to whirlpool so clogged the hose and ended up with about 5 gallons in the fermenter... I'll just pretend like I'm spunding when I'm all disappointed at the volume :P

Remember kids... whirlpool your wort and keep the braided hose on the outside.

Next time this recipe is run, will be using 8oz of the Carafa-Cpecial II and 4oz of the Carafa-Special I. I like my IBA's a little darker & roastier than this turned out.
