Here's the recipe, I pitched from a 2 liter starter that I got going on brew day with a decant and 1 liter of clean wort to wake up the yeast.I used 1272 due to having that on hand. Just a little over 2.5 lbs of Honey added at flame out. I've done a few side by side comparisons with others and this by far is as close as they come (IMHO).... Slightly more upfront bitterness, but it was really attributed to having a fresher quality than the bottle of hopslam. If anyone gets the chance to do this one, please let me know your experience!
