honeycreeper IPA Brew Session

2/21 4.88 HLT 133F 149F 5.33/1.063-1.064 first 5.41 second 5.61/1.019 final 5.39/1.047 pre *5mL H3PO4@ boil start *5mL H3PO4@ EOB 1.054 O.G., 5.23 post KO@64F Easy brew, but seemed to have some mash efficiency issues. With the high gravity final runnings, I wonder if there was some channeling. Bumped up the boil time to 75' to make up the gravity difference. KO temps remain difficult to dial in with the cold ground water. Set controller to 68F, pitched 600mL ish WY1318 from plumage pale ale. Was beginning to bubble about 8 hours later. 2/27@1.018@72F 3/3@1.010@72F Forgot to take proper notes on this. The hop combo was pretty good, bright and tropical. I think the adjustments I've made on EOB/WP hop IBU would've worked well on this beer. Can you make west coast IPA with WY1318? Possibly. Maybe a little sugar would've helped to thin the body down a bit, but it was a good beer, regardless.
