Haha, I did just that the other day. Mostly Simcoe with cascade and centennial hops (a little of my home grown Nugget in there too). 9.5 oz of hops ended up weighing over 2.5 lbs wet when I was done.
Dryhopping with Simcoe in the next week or two.

I am brewing it up as I type. My previous batches have been pretty bog standard for an American IPA but I wanted to put a much more "in your face" hop character together this time. Looking forward to it...

What's your hop schedule looking like?
For giggles, I had about a half oz in the mash, 1 oz simcoe @60, and the rest was fairly split at the 20 min and 5 min, plus an extra 5 oz at flame out.

Wonderfully, I scored one of these to start off my brew session!
Finishing off the evening with some Two-Hearted but the Ballast Point was phenominal! I will be picking up a couple more bottles tomorrow! |
