Notes

Added a hop tea to the bottling bucket of 1oz Centennial, 1oz Idaho 7, and 1.5oz Mosaic. ~1lt of water @155F then left to cool with hops for about an hour. Strained and added to bottling bucket with priming sugar prior to syphoning fermenter.

Tasting notes -
OH wow that's way more bitter than I had intended. The hop tea tastes weird at first, but after ageing in the bottle for 2 weeks or so it tastes like brewery quality dry hopped beer. Huge hop punch. Doesn't taste as "freshly opened pellet bag" as just dry hopping though. The Idaho 7 completely overwhelms the other hop additions (which is good because I did want that for THIS batch) I'd stick with Centennial + Mosaic + Cascade/Citra/mandarina combo for the fruity kick this one is very piney and pithy, and I'd rank the IBU at more like 45-60.

Things I'd change-
Grain bill is perfect, but I think I'd keep all hop additions to no longer than 20min because the IBU is incredibly deceiving when using this many hops. I'd also probably back off of the Idaho 7 additions and swap it out for something more fruity like Citra or Galaxy.
