Amarillo Sunday IPA

[Richard]

Since I've been very busy with work lately I've hardly had time to brew. Managed to get a brew in today and just winged an IPA off the top of my head, based on one of my favourite hop trios: Centennial, Cascade, Amarillo. Real simple recipe. Next time I'd drop the second sparge and add 1 gallon to the first sparge - the second was an on-the-fly correction due to a low boil volume. This was a bit of a team effort between a new member (Hall) and I.

Nice dry IPA - good hop presence across the board. The bittering is a little harsh, but it's young right now. Dry hopped with 1/1 cascade/amarillo for 7 days.
