DOH!!  I wish I would have seen this thread sooner - I would have warned you that 19 is an extremely unlucky number.  I see you used 19 oz of hops.  What were you thinking?  Don't you read Stephen King?   :o

19 is not unlucky.  Everything is 19.  Whether the beer turns out or not is up to ka.  If it bites the big one that is also ka.

19 is my extremely lucky number.  Nine's are very powerful.  I read Stephen King all the time, BTW.

I wanted to follow up on this. Lagering these in the bottle has made a huge difference. The hop harshness has faded away, and it is now a damn good beer. My friend's wife, who doesn't usually like IPA's, even remarked "maybe I only like the strong ones" after trying this. I wouldn't use this hop blend again next time (the hop character is still a bit muddled and the Nelson is still a bit overpowering to me), but I will definitely plug different hops in and give this recipe another go.

Lesson learned - lagering can possibly save an overly harsh IIPA

I'm even going to chuck a few pellets in my bucket of Star San for good measure.
