Smooth brew day, hit mash temp withing a 1/10th of a degree and hit the 1.069 gravity estimate, beer is a beautiful light gold, looks and smells great. I haven't made this particular beer in 4 or 5 years, I always liked it and just decided to brew it today. This is a nice old school West Coast IPA. Looking forward to it. Took a reading today, 04/12/21 and it's at 1.010, clearing nicely, I'll bottle in a couple of days. Bottled today ended up with 54 bottles of IPA, still a bit cloudy but I needed start conditioning for my upcoming float trip. Sample tasted good with strong bitterness and nice hop flavor and aroma. About 7.7 ABV pre priming sugar.
