Simcoe if you can find them, but that's just personal preference.

I've never had something take longer than 2 weeks to carb up before, but I've also never brewed a beer this big before. I'll try to develop some more patience. Thanks.

I’ve been brewing for about a year now, and I’d like to no longer consider myself a beginner, however I’ve found myself in a state of confusion once again with my current brew. I made an IIPA about 2 months ago with an OG of 1.092. After about three weeks, the thing only finished at about 1.030...

Good to know.
