Batch 229: Harvest Pliny
Putting all two and a quarter ounces of hops we farmed this year into one beer, a double IPA modeled on Russian River's Pliny the Elder, based on Mitch Steele's IPA: Brewing Techniques, Recipes and the Evolution of India Pale Ale. I'm going to call this batch Harvest Pliny until a better name becomes apparent.
