Thats a whole lot of different hops, I usually restrict myself to not more than 3 types. Let us know what it tastes like.

You know, I was kind of thinking the same thing, I pulled the Sterling and Goldings and subbed in more Summit and Cascade, which I have a ton of anyways. I was mainly using up old hops that I have in the freezer but I don't want to make a nasty hop soup. Thanks for the input!

That sounds delicious.
