ZeFf’s Pwn IPA

A good friend of mine came up with this IPA recipe and it was a complete success.  If you’re a hophead at heart, this brew is for you.   We first tasted it next to some Anderson Valley as a control and I have to admit, the homebrew won HANDS DOWN.  I keep telling him to brew this and enter it into some contests…  ENJOY!  (And a special thanks to ZeFf for providing this recipe!)
