Alas, no Fairview. A request to Stone for a recommendation for Fairview substitution went unanswered. Four hops from three dealers, Galaxy from Northern Brewer (along with malt and yeast), Ella and Vic Secret from Yakima Valley, Topaz from Austin Homebrew. Uff da!

I wouldn't bother with the secondary, just primary for 2 weeks, leave it onthe yeast to clean up. dryhops thecrap out of it and enjoy.
I managed to pick up some enigma, which should be nice in a beerlike this.
Might have to give it a crack soon.
I have a new house IPA recipe thats turned out well, and I've been testing hops with it.
Its much like delicious IPA at the monment, as it started as a clone, but I wonder if it would begood with different dryhops through it each time.

Good, but no side-by-side. Nice hops. SWMBO says it is not sweet enough.
If Fairview is still not available, then I would try Golden Promise instead of Briess 2-Row.
