Holy cow! You realize you just made every user of HBT insanely jealous don't you?? :cross:

I'm jealous for sure. I haven't brewed a (non-infected) batch since October. The pipeline is empty. And I have a hop addiction now.

At $9-12 per six pack for IIPAs, this addiction is costing me an arm and a left nut.

And here you just brewed 15 gallons of IPA. Mmmm.

Don't mind that sketchy dude back there in the corner, hiding behind the little potted fern plant. He's just in ur beer fridg steelin ur ipaz.

And for the record, i'm most excited to see how the one with EKGs in it works out. It sounds bad-ass!!!!!

I tend to brew in waves lately. I figure between prep time/clean up its worth doing at least two brews. Two brews on Saturday and one on Sunday. Crazy tired today, but enjoying all three airlocks bubbling

I wanted to get true comparson between Amarillo and Centennial and by brewing these at the same time will eliminate the aging question.

Great way to do it, if you have the resources and time. There is no sub for comparing side by side: hops, malt, fermentation temp, yeast, ...

Me feels for Chriso... fortunately I'm brewing the Maharaja soon, assuming my hops actually make it in from the snowy Pac NW... I will have to send a few bottles to Nebraska for careful "examination".

Any update on how these beers turned out as compared to 2 Hearted? I'm going to be brewing the clone tomorrow or Saturday.
