A couple years ago I owed a friend with a kegerator, who doesn't brew, a favor. He requested Eddyline Epic Day. I love Eddyline as well and it's located near one of my favorite weekend getaway spots so I was very excited. Nobody online had a clone so I tried on myself. My first try wasn't even close. But after reaching out to the head brewer there and him being very helpful I had a better starting point. After several batches and tweaking I think I finally got it close. All my friends who have had both say it's the same or close.

Could maybe use just a little more bite to it but I like it how it is.
I do 5.75 into the fermentor.
Soft crash for the dry hop.
No Secondary.
