Great Tasting American IPA

I wanted to share a recipe of mine for an American IPA.  I entered this into a local “high gravity” beer competition and took first place for it.  The grain bill, with most IPAs, is pretty simple and really you are just trying to hit your mash temperature on it.  The hops used are Citra and Galaxy.  I know these can be hard to come by so I buy in bulk when I do find them.  Hope you enjoy this recipe or any IPA you may be drinking right now.  Cheers!
