I just brewed a Pliny the elder clone and have to say, EVERY ipa I have ever loved seems well, just not as good. Don't get me wrong, I still brew them, buy them, of course drink them, but I feel empty inside if I start with a Pliny (clone) and try to drink my own recipes (which I used to love) or even some of my old favs like ranger after one. What is really disheartening is after I visited the Russian River site, it seems there won't ever be a way to actually try the original Pliny short of buying a plane ticket in the hopes I can find it in CA.
Are there any bleeding hearts out there willing to work out a trade or show me how I can buy some? I am in the heart of a three tiered slow to get with program state (Iowa, Des Moines-check out the south park episode where they find the guy frozen for 3 three years and send him to Des Moines to listen to Ace of Base, lol). They just approved brewing beer higher than 3.5% here a year ago.
To make matters worse, I can't brew it again since I can't get simcoe till fall due to the shortage that supposedly didn't exsist, and daddy needs his medicine!:cross:
Help!? Daddy is sick!?
