Brew #8 Pliny the Elder Clone

So as it rained this weekend, I had some last minute free time. I stopped at the brew shop Saturday and decided to pick up some supplies and make a clone of one of my favorite beers, Pliny the Elder. This is also helpful as it's not available around here and I have to trade for it. The brew went pretty smoothly and I ended up with an SG of 1.085 and my goal was 1.084 so that's great. It already fermenting like crazy, so it should be good. Oh yeah, this has an estimated 196.7 IBUs, yeah that's correct it's not a typo! And being dry hopped with 4 more oz of hops for 5 gal batch. Pliny is a crazy bad ass West Coast style Imperial IPA and it shows. This will also help me clear out some of my hops to make room for the new batch I just received. Can't wait to try it.
