I had to look this up because I was looking for a recipe on this beer that I tried the other day. Damn it's good.:rockin::
You wont be disappointed.
Worth homebrewing even in a hop shortage!

Just bottled mine, due to travel at work this sat on dry hops for longer than I wanted. It still tastes amazing. I didn't get to do a FG reading since my hydrometer decided to break when it hit the floor when i dropped it. You would think they would bounce when the hit concrete. I had to samples while bottling and it packed a good hop punch and kind of gave me a nice little buzz. tonight I am going to sample the second runnings beer that I also made, hope it is half as good as this.

My recipe was lighter on the bittering hops.
5gal. Batch
14.5 lbs. pale malt
1lb. Caramel 60
1lb. Carafa III
1.5 oz. Chinook at 60
.5 oz. Chinook at 10
.5 oz. each Amarillo and Simcoe at 5
.5 oz. each Amarillo and Simcoe at 0
1 oz. each Amarillo and Simcoe for dry hop
My only problem was missed OG and only hit 1.060
Pitched on a yeast cake of WL001 and it went off today I'll let you know how it turns out.
I just added the dry hops addition. It won't be long now, I'll wait for a taste at bottling.

How long has everyone found it needs to condition in the bottles?
Brewed this on 12/2/12. Used Safale US-05 yeast. No starter.. (2 packs) 6 gallon batch. All grain. 148F mash. OG 1.081. Checked gravity today and its at 1.036. WHAT A BUMMER! Not sure what happened here. Especially with the mash temp I used. Thinking about re-pitching. Ideas?
