Random IPA

I was initially trying to brew something along the lines of Harpoon's IPA. I decided that I would kick it up a notch and boost the hops

Brewer:	Dan Shookowsky		Email:	d_shookowsky@excite.com
Beer:	Random IPA		Style:	India Pale Ale
Type:	Extract w/grain		Size:	10 gallons
Color:	14 HCU (~9 SRM)		Bitterness:	78 IBU

Water:	Added 2 tablespoons of gypsum
Grain:	1 lb. American crystal 40L 8 oz. American Special Roast
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.046	11 gallons
	13.2 lb. Light malt extract
	2 tablespoons of Irish moss used at 45 mins
Hops:	2 oz. Chinook (11.9% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Chinook (11.9% AA, 45 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (7.3% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Cascade (7.3% AA, 5 min.) 2 oz. Cascade (aroma)
Yeast:	I used wyeast American Ale II for a slightly fruiter flavor to play against the agressive hops
Log:	Used 2oz of the Cascade to dryhop for a week.
Tasting:	I guess it was due to the dryhopping, but it took a while to clear this beer. The aggressive hop schedule needs a little time to mature (about 3 weeks minimum).
