I have 3 ounces of simcoe and plenty of grains. Let me know how it turns out. I can't wait to try these hops out

Simcoe is used in Russian River's Hill 2 Clone, which is supposed to be an awesome beer

For our wedding brew, we did a 7% IPA with 5oz Simcoe in the boil and 2 dry hop. 85~ IBU and was delicious.

We have one that is probably about ready to keg. 100IBU, 6oz in th eboil, 3 dry hop. 100~ IBU. Smells awesome.

I like some Simcoe.

Your recipe is very similar to one I just kegged, which turned out absolutely awesome. I used farmhouse's Exp 5236 hops which I understand are similar to Simcoe.

I did a partial mash with a grain bill of 2# 2-row, 2# briess pale ale malt, half pound CaraPils, .25# carahell, and .5# cara40. I also added 3.15lb of northern brewer's new ipa superstructure lme, and 3# golden light dme.

3 oz of hops throughout the boil and 1 oz dry hop.

I was hoping for almost a red ipa that would become my house ipa, and this nailed it.

Simcoe IPAs are great! I made one back in April. Honestly the best IPA I've ever had.

DO IT!

My "Sh@&! I'm running out of beer, better get something in the keg quick" beer is a Simcoe Pale Ale. 6 lbs Light DME, 2 oz Simcoe (1 @ 60, 1 @ 10.) I can throw it together mid week in a couple of hours, and have a keg ready to drink in a couple of weeks. I pretty much keep this one in stock.
