I’m thinking of making an IPA using Falconer’s Flight. Is there a big difference between FF and FF C7?

Seem to fit a very simular proile, You decide.
Cool, I just got my LHBS to order a pound of FF. Gonna make an APA with 6 oz, I’m thinking
Flights are alot smoother than 7C’s. I just kicked and IPA that was all Flight hopped and it was very tame. A local brewpub did an APA that was all 7C’s and it was a hop smack in the face. I would say don’t be afraid to go overboard on the Flights!!!
Thanks, Nate. Good to know.
