What we learned on brew day -
You have to bag your hops. We lost so much volume to hop debris. So Just bag your hops, and bag your damned hops in fermentation as well. Or plan on making 7.5 gallons if you want to take 5 gallons to packaging. There is just so damned much.
What we learned at tasting -
A world class dIPA. Probably the best I have tasted since I got to try Pliny the Younger. It is truly insanely good.
