Simcoe Select squeezing in before Pesach.

For my last brew before Pesach this year, I brewed up a batch called Simcoe Select. In the words of my suppliers (Midwest Supplies) " With 3 oz. of Simcoe hops, a whopping 77 IBUs and a ABV of 6.5%, this potent IPA is guaranteed to please".  It sounds like this badboy is going to be nice and smack you in the face and up the nose hoppy. It sounds great to me, hopefully the non-hopheads will be able to tolerate this masterpiece. It smells good too so far, let hope the finished product is everything its hopped up to be.

May 2014 UPDATE- This brew is being submitted to the annual Samuel Adams Longshot homebrew contest. It's not the trophy beer I was hoping it would be, but its still pretty good.
