So i'm brewing this sunday. Ended up going with azacca hops, subbed in for amarillo. Again, never used any of these hops before, so should be interesting. I'm using Gigayeast Vermont IPA yeast. I've been thinking about possibly splitting the batch and using vermont ipa in one and either an english ale or Norcal Ale #5. Can't decide if i want to split this batch, or go with a single yeast since its new hops i'm using.

Haven't brewed in 2 months, had to make room in the fermenting freezer first. Went from 6 cases of homebrew to 1.5 thanks to a couple bachelor parties and giving out a few. Can't wait to brew again. Trying out a couple different things. 1) Using fermcaps 2) waiting for my wort to cool before whirlpool hops and 3) possibly dry hopping directly in the primary.

Yall don't think i'm using too much dry hops, do ya? It's a higher IBU beer so i figured i'd ramp up the dry hops. Total of 11 oz. of hops in this batch.
