Douche bags, I was lucky enough to get some hops from Niko which included 8oz of simcoe. Anyone have an all grain recipe which would best represent simcoe in all its glory? I don't mind adding other hops.

suck it!

If you've got your own IPA recipe, I'd go with that as it would give you a malt basis that you know to be able to compare the Simcoe's contributions to. 8 oz would be plenty to use all in one batch and get sufficient hop character throughout if you are looking to load up it and do a single hop beer.

I've heard that Simcoe isn't particularly nice as a bittering hop. You may want to use it as your aroma/flavoring hop and get your bittering from something cleaner.

+1, though a single hop Simcoe beer will allow you to decide which side of the fence you are on with respect to that hop.
Some guys LOVE it. Others think their cat relieved himself in the carboy.
