Man, it had been a while since I brewed for myself. So long in fact that I'm really close to running out (at least on tap). It's also been a while since I've had an IPA on tap (meaning more than a few weeks) so I decided to brew up another Workhorse. Since Amarillo is hard to come by, I switched it out for Summit. I've had really good results with that before so I figured it was a good switch. Here's the details:

Notes:
Everything went pretty smooth. It took some trickery to get the hopback flowing well. A chugger pump would help that quite a bit. Perhaps someday.
