    I have tried that, it is good; however, there is a newer version also from Vinnie which uses 2 stages of dry hopping and actually uses a few less oz. of hops and one or two less varieties of hops. I will look for it for you.

    That's assuming the LHBS on your island can get some Simcoe! :slight_smile:
