I've got a wedding to brew for in May, and a nice lager- temp basement at the moment, so would like to try a nice hoppy lager recipe.  Jack's Abbey (Framingham, MA) brews a nice IPL (their designation) - very clean and hoppy.  I'll probably try to contact them too.  But does anyone have any suggestions or recipes they've tried & liked?
 
Pilsner Urquell is the gold standard of lagers in my opinion.  Most beer stores carry it.  If you haven't tried it yet I'd suggest giving it a go.
I have found many good recipes online by adding the search word "clone" to the name of some commercial product that I like.
 
I contacted Jack's Abbey & they were kind enough to send me this, but no yeast info yet... I'll keep you posted.

Hoponius Union

80% 2 Row
4% Spelt
12% Munich

Hops
60 Mins Magnum 12 IBU's
30 Mins Magnum 5 IBU's
5 Mins Centennial 20 IBUs
Whirl 2 oz of Centennial and Citra per Gallon

Let the beer warm up to 55-60 degrees at the end of fermentation to dry hop. Split the dry hop into two additions and add second dry hop 5 days later.

Per Gallon? that's 10 oz each whirlpool, 7.5 ounces each dry
