No, but trying is fun.

Nice, I’ve been thinking about really cranking up the sulfate lately. I won’t be able to brew any ipas any time soon, but definitely have this on my radar, along with your exact malt bill and a high level of ibu and some classic American hops. I’ve just been craving that alchemist flavor in my...
