That's a lot of hops.

I made a very similar beer based off of Kelsey McNair's Westcoast Bitter it was awesome. One of the best hoppy beers i've made.

If you can get those hops in the first place.

I know a guy who has all of those hops ready to go right now....

But that guy's a dick! I've heard some dirty rumors about his warehouse manager too. They're just too dirty to repeat on a forum as classy as this.
