Looks yum to me. I'd like to see slightly higher IBUs in an IPA but as a beer it looks quite good. Is wheat usual in a traditional English version? I'd also suggest you think of dry hopping with something like Styrian Goldings plugs, or either even the same EKG or Fuggles you're already using. Just an idea.

Looks good as is in any case.

yeah was planning to throw in about 30 gms dry hops

15 EKG
15 Fuggles

never used plugs tho they much better for dry hopping??

Oh the wheat was just for a little more body and head retention.....will it do much for the body since its a high gravity beer anyway??
