Anybody else brew Midwest's Hopstache Black IPA this year? I thought it was excellent again, didn't tweak the recipe at all just followed kit directions for the most part. Different hops this year from last year, but I am enjoying it!

I just kegged mine, so we will see how it turns out. I am curious as to how this will turn out once it is carbonated!
If the dry was US-05 you probably used 1056 or WLP001. You could always go to their website and look it up.
Hey sorry, I have been slacking off on HBT. The options are in fact US-05, 1056 or 001.
I absolutely love this beer and it is by the far the best extract beer I've brewed yet! I didn't have the opportunity to sample 2012 or 2013 but the 2014 is phenomenal. I pitched a 2l starter of WPL001 at 65 degrees, oxygenated the wort with my new O2 system and fermented at 62 for the first three days then bumped up to 64 for the next two weeks. Dry hopped in primary for 10 days with the 2 oz of dry hops (Galaxy and Simcoe) included in the kit then bottled. The beer was carbonated after one week but the flavor really hit its peak about four weeks after bottling. This was my fist time dry hopping and brewing with WPL001 and I am stunned with the results. I truly feel this beer is better than anything else I've brewed and even though I'm a relative newbie to this hobby everyone who's tried this beer has loved it. I finally made a beer that I love:rockin:
Hey all- This was a great kit and it always turned out super tasty.
Now Im not finding the kit, would anyone have a recipe to put it together?
Thanks
