AG #14 Red Hopper II

Brew day tomorrow, however the weather is scorching and so this might give a high initial fermentation temp. This is as the name suggests version two of Red Hopper. This is a highly hopped red ale based on Randy Mosher's India Red Ale (unfortunate acronym!). I have changed very little from the initial recipe except for the yeast, using California Ale V this time around instead of 1272. Also for this brew I am reverting back to a three vessel set up, I have not been happy with my efficiency using a two vessel set up and hence the change.
