sounds excellent. why the combo of pils and maris otter? why not just use 2-row pale?
Good qestion and I do not have a good answer other than I have a lot of pils and want to give it a try. I am also hoping that the pils may give it a bit of a "lighter" feeling to the beer. I really want a light colored, light feelign beer with a ton of hops. Only a few weeks will tell if I can accomplish that.

Just to close this one out, I will be brewing this beer again. Really happy with how this came out. Light and dry with huge hope flavor and aroma without being overly bitter. I have a feeling this keg will kick any day. I do not plan to change anything with the recipe

I've been making a lot of beer lately! Drez has been pimping this one for a while now so I decided to finally try it. The beer is 11 days old today and is tasting fantastic. Admittedly my recipe has some minor changes but is close to the one above. My hop schedule reflects my SOP and I went with Columbus @60 and added 90g Simcoe in the 165F hop stand and 45 dry in a single addition. Also there is a slight discrepancy in the Pils:MO ratio but that's minor. IBU and OG are as prescribed and US-05 was used. The only thing that could have turned this beer around faster would be a healthy pitch of 001/1056 instead of the US-05 but the US-05 sure made a nice beer here.
The Pils/MO base is nice, very nice. There is just a touch of that MO richness and light caramel in the background and otherwise it's a nice light, dry, pale ale with great hop character. No cat pee in this batch of Simcoe. It's bright, lightly piney, and fruity with a touch of grapefruit. It's Simcoe. Much of this will beer will be given away over the next week or two and I'll be happy to do so. As others have done, I plan to make this base beer again varying the hop varieties and combining some to learn more about different hops and hop combos.
If any of you guys have been thinking about making this I say go for it. Great recipe Drez.

Plan to brew this beer again this week with some minor changes. Going to only use a 30 minute boil and the hopping will be updated to a bit to include a whirlpool like I typically use with hoppy beers these days. I will post the updated recipe and results in this thread.

I would repost it. It's a really nice beer and we went through it very fast. Would you bitter with Simcoe at 30 min.?

FWH with Simcoe
then additions at 5, 0 (10 minute steep), 20 minute steel at 170 and then dry hop
