During the painful wait for the mash timer to run out, I went to get my mash schedule so I could gather the hops I needed. When I looked at I had, I was hit on the head with one of those "What the #&%^?" moments, that we all have every now and again. What was I thinking!?

* .75oz Columbus 75m
* 1 oz nugget 60m
* three .5 oz drops of Cascade 45m, 30m, 15m
* (Total IBU's 98.7)

So I quickly reworked it to something more logical. Once I had a plan (mostly the same but sans the Nugget) I headed back to the garage to start laying out the hop additions. I pulled out my little drug dealer pocket scale and started weighing out the individual additions. No! I discover the pack I had of Columbus that I though had 3/4 of an ounce in it actually had actually had .95 oz, damn! Back to Promash again. (Damn I need a cheap laptop!) I tried this... played around with that... and finally came up with something I was satisfied with...

* .95oz Columbus 90m
* .5 oz cascade 60m
* .5 oz cascade 45m
* 1 oz Mt Hood 30m
* 1 oz Cascade 15m
* (Total IBU's 100.5)

The longer boil should allow me to get more out of the hops, though I understand that I'll sacrifice some of the color I was looking for. Oh and yes, you better believe that I'm planning on a dry hop or (maybe) a hop tea addition as it goes into the keg.
