OK, so I used to brew a hell of a lot of IPA's. So many that I actually got bored of brewing them and went elsewhere in brewing land. (Plus most of my IPA recipes were on a HD that died).
So now that there is a hop shortage, I of course, have decide to brew an IPA.
Using Bullion and Tett. (I have 5lbs of each). Haven't used Bullion before but it is similar in the flavor/aroma end to columbus is it not? Cept for the "black current" flavor I read in the descriptions.
Of course [arguably] if you boil that crap out of any hop (60+ min) you will get no imparted flavor, but I do have a bullion addition at t-15.
Wondering what you fellow hop lovers think if the following?
I set the efficiency in beersmith to 75% but I usually get around 85 or 90%. rebuilt the grinder the other day and haven't brewed in months, so I erred on the side of caution with the 75% setting.
