Notes

Add calcium chloride (.5 tsp) before boil, use lactic acid (3/4 tsp) to aim for a 3.5-4pH. Lemon or lime can be used instead of acid if you desire (I did not use this). I did not check pH after adding as I did not have the tool to do so. I just followed previous recipe recommendations.

Make Dip Hop slurry: heat water to a boil to rid bacteria, chill to 170F, pull 500mL / .5qt / 17oz. roughly (I did about 22oz of water because the leaf hops took up so much room in stove top pot) Add 2oz (I did 1.06 because that's all my harvest gave) of your preferred hop to stove top pot, then seal/cover to sit will the brew kettle boils. This will be added back in later.

Bring the rest to a boil and boil for 10 minutes.

At flameout, add 2oz (I did 1.48 because that is all my harvest gave) of whirlpool hops and hopstand for 10 minutes. Chill to 68, once water is below 75, add Dip Hop slurry.

Rack to keg and add yeast. Purge with CO2 and "ferment" for five days.

Burst carbonate at 40psi for 3 days. Dial down to serving (3-4 volumes) carbonation.

Side notes:
This is the first year I could harvest the hops I grew. I was out of town and missed the window to pick some but was able to salvage the rest.
I did not know what a dip hop slurry was at first and had to do research to find out how to make it. It was not easy to figure out at first.
I forgot to add the brew kettle spout fitting so the leaf hops made the transfer to the keg take forever - probably an hour.
The whole brew day took around 3ish hours.
Corn sugar was not used. Brewer's friend requires a fermentable in the field to save the recipe so I had to add something. Although by adding it in to the recipe info, I am able to see the IBU.

5oz wet hops = 1oz dry hops

Wet:
Far right (Nugget x Comet) - 2.75oz
Next (Liberty) - 4.6oz
Next (Columbus) - 3.43oz
Far left (Centennial) - 1.65oz
