Just thought I'd share my favorite IPA recipe. It is a cleanly bitter ale with a floral aroma that is modeled after Wild Goose, from Cambridge, MD. This is using extracts from Williams Brewing.

Ingredients:

0.5 lbs amber crystal, steep until boil
6 lbs. English light malt extract: boil 60 min.
1 oz. Galena (11% a.a.): boil 60 min
1 oz. Willamette whole leaf hops (4% a.a.): boil 10 min.
1 oz. Willamette: put in nylon hop bag and pour the hot wort over it in the primary.
English brewers yeast

Procedure:

You can carry the hop bag over into the secondary if you rack. This English brewers is so fast it really finishes before you need a secondary. If you do rack, or when you bottle, the hop nose will hit you like a baseball bat. Oh, its good.
