Recipe inspired by m00ps' article "Not Your Fathers IPA"

Just FYI, Belma is pure strawberry. Well maybe 95% strawberry, 4% melon, 1% orange. Its great, I use it in my normal IPA all the time. You just need a lot of it for an aggressively hopped beer since hops like citra and simcoe can overpower it even at a 2:1 ratio

I'll be using about a pound in a 3 gallon batch with a bittering charge of magnum. Thoughts?

What are you brewing? I just kegged (first time kegging) my Yooper's Oatmeal Stout last night.

Well, this is what BrewSmith said last time. I am going to work on getting it to better recognize my system and make some changes to the water, but it is close to what I plan to do today. I want to substitute a hopburst for the dry hop if I can convince myself my new hop rocket will work as a filter inline with the plate chiller at the end.

The hop rocket seems to have done its job, but oh boy did I leave a lot of wort behind. My target was about 2.6 gallons to the fermenter and I think I wound up with about 2.1 gallons instead. Then again, I got an OG of 1.070, so my other new toy, a Barley Crusher, helped with the efficiency.

For the record. Here is tripa from kuhnhenn. It's piney grapefruity mango smooth hop juice. Has the hazy characteristics in the thread.
