This is an all grain IPA that I made recently. It has Magnum hops for bittering, Mosaic for Aroma and dry-hopped with Equinox. I brewed this for the first time in March. Hops combination was great. Planning on brewing this again in the next couple of weeks to make sure that I can replicate it.

Two weeks primary fermentation. Dry-Hop with Equinox in the secondary for 1 to 2 weeks, then bottle.
Also notable is that I tend to bottle beers because it makes it easier to give beer away. Could probably keg this, but I have yet to try that.
