Cloned the green flash DIPA about 2 months ago has to be the best beer I have had on the home tap, a little bit on the heavy side coming in at 7.5%abv. The grain bill is very simple only two malts but a lot of hop additions. Heres a recipe I was thinking of doing in honour of the big green flash, maybe I will call it the green spark. Its a bit tamer but still plenty of hops to balance the big U.K crystal malt flavour.
Appreciate any thoughts, any body else cloned the green flash? (Dry malt is for the starter)

Looks nice but reckon she's more in the apa than Aipa range at 40 ibu's. IMO she could do with a little more 10 min additions to bring her up to the 50ibu mark...
