taking another whack at a WCIPA

Today's brew went great. I did hold back the hop schedule about 15-20m to "accomodate" my yeast starter pitch. I was showing exactly what I needed on my pre-boil gravity, but... My refractometer let me down, as I got a double reading of 1.061-1.062 about 3-4 minutes before end of boil and previous readings were in line, but tilt showed 1.073 pre-pitch, 1.068 after pitching the yeast. 1.068 is a bit higher than I was expecting, but it will still be beer.
