So my friend wants me to make him a brew for Christmas when he comes up to visit. He is sending me the ingredients for it next week. Just wanted to post it here and see what you guys think. He is a big fan of SN. This is what he wrote me.
I'm most concerned with the hop schedule and dry hopping type/amount.
