I brewed up a new recipe back on November 29, 2015 and didn’t get a chance to keg it until March 28, 2016. That is a really long time for an IPA of any kind to sit in the fermenter, but I just wasn’t able to do anything with it sooner due to our kitchen remodel. Luckily it came out tasting amazing! I would have to compare it with the Maharajah from Avery brewing. It’s not a clone by any means, but the hop and malt balance is perfect! For anyone interested in the recipe, here it is.
