Fattox, your friends hops schedule was with flowers? I am now armed with Chinook, Columbus and Simcoe pellets. I was also thinking of bittering early with Topaz, with the thinking being to chase the resin flavours from 30 mins and below.
My usual 3kgs of liquid malt will also take on 500 of dry wheat malt and 250 grams of dextrose. ( some cracked grain a distinct possibility ).
nah im certain he used pellets - thats what i used (i reckon flowers or leaves would be amazing in it though)
also +1 to leave topaz out, its great in summery lagers but afaik would be dominated in that combo.
of course if you just wanna taste hops (heady topper clone haha)

Two seperate dry hops, a week each (1st is apollo, chinook and simcoe, second is simcoe and centennial). I've got one fermenting at the moment and think it will be a cracker. I'll know in about 10 days or so!
