Brewie B+ Blind Pig IPA

I have 5 beers on tap that I am proud to serve, so it is time to start a decent pipeline.  I figure the Blind Pig will replace Pliny or my NEIPA, whichever goes first.  Brewie performed perfectly.  70% efficiency on this one.  When this machine works as it is intended, it is really magical.  What wasn't magical was the fact that I forgot to connect the chill dump hose and ended up with several gallons of water all over my basement floor.  I hard plumbed a line so that won't happen again.

Here is the recipe:
