Hop Party IIPA

[shauntraxler]

Ok. So within the next week or so, I am going to be brewing a ridiculous IIPA using a bunch of hops I've never tried. Really, it's an experiment, and I doubt I'll learn much from it, but hey, I think trying strange things...

Id move additions 4-7 to 15 minutes or later. Addtion 2&3 to 60 minutes. Addtions between 60 and 20 are basically only adding bitterness, so may as well up the 60 to get your desired ibus and use the rest for flavor and aroma (20-flameout).

Also, id switch the summit and the 1st simcoe, as I like the flavor/aroma that simcoe provides better. Other than thy looks like a hopbomb, which I really like.
