I've done this one before, I'm sure it had a fancy name, but it's just a nice IPA.

10 gallon batch.

Grain, mash at 153F for 60 minutes, collect 12 gallons:

23 lbs 2-row
1 lb Crystal 40
1.25 lbs Wheat

Hops, 90 minute boil:

2.0 oz Nugget, 60 minutes
2.0 oz Mt Hood, 10 minutes
2.0 oz Cascade, 10 minutes

Wyeast 1272 from batch 48.

OG: 1.066

1st keg not so great, drinkable, though.
2nd keg added 1.5 oz Centennial dry hop, Sep 20.
