This recipe was supposed to be an American Pale Ale...I was using Leaf Hops and when I opened the package and tasted them, they seemed stale and lacking the bitterness I was expecting. I decided to add a little extra to compensate. Needless to say, the recipe ended up being an American IPA but I still enjoyed every bottle. NOTE: The head on this beer is crazy (see photo). I used a wheat based DME for a yeast starter and primed with about 6 ounces of dextrose. I can't wait to brew this recipe again.
