I'm not sure if it's best to try 2 new ingredients in a beer but WTF, it's only beer and I'll drink it.
I'm curious what hops pair well with Equinox but here's my first run recipe for next week.
Comments, critiques? I may take out the honey malt but I've had some laying around and figure I need to use it soon. Also might switch the 15 and 10 minute additions around as it seems Equinox used too early leads to a green pepper taste to some.
I've got a shyte load of different hops so if something works better with Equinox, I likely have it.
