Hey guys and gals, I've heard so dang much about Pliny the Elder but am located in TX and just can't get a hold of a bottle or 12, so I'd like to brew up a batch so I can finally see what all the hubbub is about. The dilemma I see is which recipe should I brew?
I know Vinnie collaborated with Brew Your Own and came up with a 5gal version and thats what i would like to brew. I found one recipe that claims to be the BYO one here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/imperial-ipa-recipe-13758/index2.html#post129699
Another that looks like it could be official recipe is this one: http://farmhousebrewingsupply.fmtemp.com/ProdImages/1Pliny the Elder clone PDF-1.pdf
Both have similar grainbills (slightly different %s), but the hops are pretty different in the two, and for this beer, I really want them to be right.
So, what do you think? Which is Vinnie's homebrew Pliny?
