Brewing this one tomorrow. First time using wheat in an IPA so here we go.
This beer will be closer to 7% abv. My brewhouse efficiency for recipes is set to 80% but I always get in the 90s on this kind of grain bill. Unless a pound of wheat will impact my efficiency...
I was thinking of a "single" hop IPA but given the low AA% of Grungeist I may toss in some C hops or something else fruity to boost the IBUs. Mid 50s ain't an IPA IMHO. Am I wrong?
