Basically, I am using the grain base for Avery Maharaja and some of the hop schedule. However, I tried to use the hops I already had in the freezer so I had to change the recipe up quite a bit. Also, I got a lot of whole leaf simcoe hops. Which is cool because now I guess I can call it mine. Next time I may change the grains as well. Here is what I am doing:

I will be brewing it this weekend. Hopefully first thing Saturday morning. -
That looks good.
But, don't you think you should put some hops in there???
(good god, that will be a hoppy SOB!)
I'm not a real fan of Simcoe, but the combination of everything sounds awesome.Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity. -
you have no flavor hops in there, if i am reading that right.
you'll get some flavor off the dry hopping, but not much and with caramel 120L in it you will have strong sweet malty flavors...not generally what you're looking for in a IIPA, but if it floats your boat, go for it.
i would dial back the bittering hops by 40% and then make up for it in the 10 and 20 minute time frames to bolster the flava!
gots to have mad flava!
although, i have started skipping bittering hops altogether recently and dont' add any hops until 25 minutes......when i begin to add A LOT!!!! -

unless he can batch chill the entire volume in less than 10 minutes, the 5 oz at t-0 will end up producing a lotta flava.The only thing between me and a train wreck is blind luck..... - Kenny -

What is I don;t dial back the bittering hops and just add a butt load more flavoring hops?

yeah, but deriving all your hop flavor from flamout additions makes it kind of one dimensional. a IIPA shoudl be complexy hoppy in my book. -

then it may be too bitter....but if you want to run that risk, go for it -

I'll play around with the recipe tonight. Need to get it dialed in before Friday Saturday morning. -
Hey..... have you thought about first wort hopping it????Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

Gives a "smoother" bitterness, and good flavor......Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

No. Tell me a little more. Do I drain the first runnings and then add hops? -
Here is my revised recipe. turned down the bittering hops just a bit and added flavor hops.

Yep.... just toss the hops in to your first runnings... let them sit until the boil.Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity. -

Cool. I am heating mash water right now
-
Flameout hops dropped in and now letting it rest for 30 min
-
also got 70% efficiency which I figure is good for a bigger beer.
