For the hop bill, utilize Chinook @ 60 minutes remaining for 74.5 IBUs and Simcoe and Amarillo @ 5 minutes remaining to reach an IBU of 5.2 and 3.7 respectively. Ferment with Wyeast 1098 British Ale yeast. Following fermentation, transfer the beer to secondary and dry hop with 1 oz Simcoe and 1 oz. Amarillo for 3 days only.
