I can't get Pliny here in NY so I might put this on the list, though how does it taste compared to something like Ruination? More citrus, piney, grassy?
Got a friend who recently moved to Vegas. I've got him by the balls because he LOVES Oberon and can't get it out there. I've promised him some in a couple weeks if he can find me some Pliny. In the mean time Ive brewed my first IIPA. It's along the lines of Hopslam. Gonna add the dry-hop shot on Friday and bottle a week later. I'm hoping to drink it while I fawn over the nine hop plants in my yard this spring/summer.

oh man, it took me awhile to figure out that the IBU's were "off the chart" I couldn't find the magic dot on the grid...then I saw it floating off in space way over on the right.
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.

Is the Corn Sugar added purely to boost the gravity? I'm assuming this goes in the boil as well?
Boost the ABV and help the beer dry out more so it's not cloyingly sweet.

I was floating off in space a bit after two pints last night.
You know what, I will make a deal with anyone that wants to swap some Pliny inspired IPA's. And since I live at the source of that lovely river, I might be able to include one or two bottles of the sweet heavenly juice if you talk nicely to me and maybe send something as unique and inspiring. Of course, I only have so much money and I spend most of it brewing, so I can't help everyone out. Spring is here, so I can ship while the weather is nice.
I have an IPA kegged and one in primary about to get dry hopped. Both started close to 1.080 and are succulent. What an excellent word, like biting into the ravioli I made last night, supple is another great word. Man, I am getting all hot and bothered now....
