just tried the sierra nevada harvest single hop really interesting hop. definitely tastes like weed i might swap an equinox addition for some cascade to give it some fruityness to go with the earthy canna-dankness

okay, i brewed the recipe scaled down this summer as a 2.5 gal batch and kind of screwed it up because i didn't have all of my usual equipment. I'm going to give this hop schedule a go in the next couple of days i think:

Tried it for the first time today. It's pretty tasty Next time I'd go with more late additions, maybe another oz each of citra and cascade, and move them back a bit to knock the ibu's back a touch.
