Death by Hops

This is an extract version of Dave Brockington's Sister Star of the Sun.
(See http://realbeer.com/hops/sister.html).
I entered Dave's recipe into the Recipator to determine the IBU's, then
created this recipe to achieve about the same bitterness for a partial-volume
extract boil.I named it Death by Hops because it has a quarter pound of Chinook
in the boil and a total of a half pound of hops altogether, but it really shouldn't
be overwhelming--there's a lot of malt to balance it out.
