Hi guys,
I have been trying to brew a fruity and hoppy IPA with moderate bitterness, however my brews end up not as hoppy as I want them to be. I'm not sure how to get them to be hoppy, like for example ballast point sculpin IPA, but it is yet to turn out that way. So I am wondering if you guys could give me some advice regarding my recipe. This is it (please note, I am fairly new to this so if there's some super obvious mistakes, please let me know!):
