Not my recipe but I have renamed it. I haven't had a "hoppier" brew in a while and was wondering what you guys think. ibu's may not be high but I think the hops will come through?

So what are you trying to accomplish for a beer here? Where/why did you pick this recipe?

And if you want "hoppy" as in hop flavour you might want some 30-20 min additions.

Don't have a where or why. I'm just experimenting as I have always done. I have never tried simcoe and I thought this would be a nice brew to try it in. I am not a "hop head" by any means but I am slowly going to the dark side. Just observations on the recipe is what I am looking for.

You said it was not your recipe, so I assumed it was not an immaculate conception. :lol:

No immaculate conceptions here X haha surprised I can spell that after last night. Anyway CA maybe I will add, I am assuming you mean simcoe, (25g-30g). At 30min for more flavour. I was thinking that as my first addition is fw, I would get flavour from there. But maybe I will reconsider.
