#21: Next IPA

I had a wonderful IPA yeast on hand from one of our board mates, and conveniently the IPA pipeline is almost dried up, so here's the result of the itch to get something in the fermenter: in-progress name of next IPA.

Got some hops I haven't played with before (Pacific Jade and Simcoe), so I did some modifications on the CloneBrew Green Flash West Coast IPA recipe, changing it up to use some leftover DME from previous brews (which will make mine more amber than the original recipe), and subbing in the Pacific Jade for Columbus (which I didn't have on hand).
