Throw in a “Whiz wit” from Pat’s and I may be convinced ![]()
DONE!
Well, I decided to put it on green. 15 days in primary and 4 days in the keg. Two words:
HOLY CRAP!!!
Amazing hop flavor, aroma and just enough bitterness to make it work.
Can’t wait to do this one again after this year’s harvest.

EDIT: I must add that since they were all homegrown, they taste that much better. Not sure if it really made a difference, but freezing them right off the dehydrator was a bonus, IMHO.
Well done. Sounds great, Dave !
When hop bursting I like the flavor I get when adding hops at FWH, 5, 1 and flameout, followed by a 45-minute hopstand for a 8 - 10% increase in calculated IBUs. I simply shut off the kettle and stir every 2-3 minutes for the 45 minutes, kettle otherwise with lid on. I have chilled down to 180F first, but usually keep it simple.
Well, I was not the only one that thought the beer was crazy good. I brought 2 growlers to my neighborhood pool opening party where we also had a keg of SNPA. The growlers went in 15 minutes. My one buddy said, "It’s a weird day when I’m filling up my glass with SNPA wishing there was more of your IPA around… ![]()
