I will be making a run to the LHBS today for this exact recipe. I have never used Summit hops so I am excited about the final results. I will give an update in a month or so. Thanks BM!!!

The batch is bubbling away pretty good. It will be going into secondary 4 days from now.
Super excited!!!

This sounds like a great recipe. I don't have an brewing software. BM, could you please scale this for a 5 gallon ferment? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I finally got around to documentation......Brew days are a bit wild at my house so I always forgot to get any pictures of the different stages. I finally hooked it to a tap today after a few days of force carbing. The carb is still a bit low but the color/taste is MAGICAL. I am very impressed with the Summit hops and I plan on using them as often as they are availble to me. I snapped a picture before it was passed around.

Sorry for the large pic but I felt it necessary to show the full appearance.

What would be a good sub. for the summit hops. Hbs doesn't have summit. Amarillo? Cascade?

Well i'm going to make this brew this weekend. want to try a different hop than the C's and amarillo/simcoe. i brewed your outer limits ipa and loved it so can't wait to try another one of yours.

Remember the secret here is late hop additions.

I think I have about 5-6 ounces of Summit left over. I might have to put them to good use this weekend.

i scaled the recipe to 5.5 gallons to get 5 into the fermenter.

i adjusted the hop schedule a little different so i wouldn't have any hops left over if i buy 1oz packages. what do you think?

also i don't think the lhbs has S-05, didn't see it on thier website and haven't been to this one yet, they have Nottingham, haven't used that yet think it will be good?

Looks fine. The only downside to Notty is the off-the-wall attenuation you'll get.

This recipe does well with a little residual sweetness.

If the LHBS has safale-04, go with that. If not...raise the mash temp 3-4 degrees and cut the rest time down to 40 minutes to preserve some unfermentables.
