I recently made my second attempt at a Double (or Imperial) India Pale Ale. My first attempt was just too balanced. The malt supported the hops and vice versa. I honestly don't think that's what a DIPA is supposed to be like, so I attempted to shove as many hops as possible into a 5 gallon batch. That lucky number was 12 oz...without the 4 oz of dry hops. Here comes the Hop Show.
