I tried a Blue Moon 'Pine in the Neck'  IPA last night and want to clone it.  Their website didn't have a recipe on it, but they did list ingredients, so I put together the recipe below.  Please help me tweak amounts that make sense.  Thanks!

I am!  I got the list of ingredients from Blue Moon's website.  They just don't mention percentages or ratios, so I'm trying to work that part out.

I think you've got too much wheat and carapils.  I'd cut both in half.
