i'd probably go with nottingham on that one.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Sorry for trolling and reviving this thread.. Just wondering if you could provide any more detail on the process of brewing this recipe. Specifically, I was wondering about Mash temps, mash time, sparge temps, and boil time although I'm assuming it was 60min. Any other info would be helpful thanks!

I just did this one, BIAB, 75 minute mash at 152, 10 minute mash out at 168 degrees. Did a 90 minute boil.
