Sweetwater IPA Recipe???
« on: June 26, 2011, 11:29:49 pm »
I might've asked this before (and if so, my apologies), but does anyone have what they think is a good Sweetwater IPA recipe?  I really like this beer a lot and am hoping to replicate it here in Korea.

ethalacker... thanks for the input.  i made an attempt at the sweetwater ipa a few weeks ago based upon a different recipe and am waiting for it to condition now.  my grain bill is very similar, however, the hops in mine were 100% simcoe.  i'm curious to see how it turns out.  i really like that beer and want to make it for folks here in korea.
