Red Racer IPA clone for the Grainfather?
Can anyone recommend a good Red Racer IPA clone recipe? (ideally something that would work well in a Grainfather)?

Re: Red Racer IPA clone for the Grainfather?
Haven't come across a recipe that I like online, but from their website I can see what's listed as ingredients for RRIPA. If I were to put a recipe together based on what's listed, I'd probably do this:
Malt Bill:
Maris Otter - 52.2%
Superior Pale Malt - 43.5%
Crystal 40L - 4.3%
Hops (adjust for the AA% of the hops at your LHBS):
0.5 oz German Magnum (12% AA) - First Wort Hopping
Then with 15, 10, and 5 minutes left to boil add:
0.5 oz Amarillo (8.4%), 0.5 oz Centennial (9.4%), and 0.5 oz Simcoe (13%)
At flameout add 1oz each of Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe.
Dry hop for 3-5 days with some combination of Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe. Probably 4-5 oz total.
Ferment with clean yeast (US-05, Wyeast 1056, WLP 001, Wyeast 1098, etc. Pick your favorite). Probably mash between 150 and 152F.
Cheers!
EDIT: I should add that the recipe above puts me at:
1.061 OG (est. 6.5% ABV) - Red Racer has 6.5% ABV
78.8 IBU - Red Racer has 80.

I should say that I did this for a 5 gallon (19L) batch. The grainfather may be able to brew larger batches. If so, just adjust the hop amounts!
