This is a recipe that I play with quite a bit. I think I've dialed in the malt bill and the hop additions over time; however, I'm constantly playing with the hop varieties and, more rarely, the yeast. Below is a recipe brewed on 2015-08-23 that I thought was particularly successful given the amount of hop varieties which which I was unfamiliar.
