Wow - brewed this a week ago and it's just about perfect. I mixed Wyeast 3944 and 1214 just for kicks and this beer is awesome. The black pepper is barely noticeable, but it's there at the end. Great recipe!
It's so tempting to harvest when they're huge and green, but you really need to wait until you've got a little browning on the edges and they crunch and quickly "rebound" when you squeeze them.
I've just taken out the ladder and scoured bines every few days once I've found a cone or two that...
Ed - placed an order on Monday and it's still "pending". Can you check on it? I sent an email through the site yesterday AM, but didn't hear back. Was hoping to brew this weekend :(

Didn't Yards do this a couple years ago?

I guess it's not "his" recipe, but based on it.
