Ekuanot IPA

I read about Ekuanot hops recently, and really wanted give them a shot in an IPA.  YCH Hops describes the hops as providing the aroma of "melon, berry, orange peel, papaya, pine, and peppers", while the Hoptimus Rex bag says, "Lemon, lime, papaya, apple and green pepper".  All right, then...let's do this!

Brew Day:  28 Jan 2018

Partial Mash:
1 lb Vienna malt
4 oz flaked oats
2 oz Carapils

Boil (20 min):
1 lb Pilsen DME
4 oz table sugar

Hops:
14 g Ekuanot (FWH)
1 oz Ekuanot (10 min whirlpool @ flameout)
14 g Ekuanot dry hop

I used the hops from Hoptimus Rex, which says "Alpha: 14.2%" on the bag.

Yeast: Safale US-05

Addendum, 8 Feb: Racked into secondary, dry hopping on 14 g of Ekuanot hops.

Addendum, 13 Feb: Bottled today; got 6 regular bottles, 1 22 oz flip top, and 1.5 repurposed soda bottles.  Smelled great during bottling, really looking forward to trying this one.
