I had part of a pound of Amarillo hops in the freezer from another recipe and decided to make a mostly Amarillo hop flavored IPA. I only used some Cascades for bittering (since I have a ton of homegrown Cascade in the freezer I wanted to try to use up). This isn’t a complex recipe, I just wanted to quickly have a good IPA on tap here at home.
