Land of Hobbits and Diggers IPA Brew Session

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Pitched 1.3g of Sowuli flakes after aerating for 1 minute. I'm using a new yeast nutrient from BSG and it calls for 1 to 1.5 tsp per gallon of wort, which is really high. I went with 9g of nutrient, which is equivalent to 1.5 tsp. 5/18 - after 24 hours of lag, airlock activity is starting to get rolling. 5/21 - bottled at night. Airlock activity was done for a couple days. Sample tasted of green pepper and malt, not what I was expecting. The color is closer to a red ale.
