Might wanna bump the temps up a bit.

Maybe a 31min hop addition?

Weird, thanks, fixed!

You might want to think about your Hops. I don't think that you're using enough to be considered an IPA...

What the HELL?!?? did you rob a hop shipment or something? Wait, what does that actually work out to be... about 4.5 ounces?

Never mind.

Go with the 31 minute addition...

The 17 minute addition is the important one.

With that hop schedule you had better make sure Vanna is around to bring you another beer. You aren't going to be able to leave the pot long enough to get one yourself.
