Cut Throat Trout Ale II Brew Session

Brew Session Info

Brew Date 11/14/2015

Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Added 4 grams of gypsum to raise ph, not sure it did anything. Fermenting nicely at 66 F. On 11/17 I observed that the vent was cloudy and some yeast on the bottom?? Also the upper shell of fermenter seems to have yeast foam on it. Also it was fermenting fairly actively. Not sure how this happened.

Based on boiling 6.00 gallonsliters at 1.028 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.033.

You wanted an OG of 1.077. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Took out the fine filter on the faucet for straight CO2 gas. I think better. Maybe all the nitro is not out as of yet.

Notes:

Initially we put it on beer gas. it worked. Lots of foam and took a while to settle. very smooth, no carbonic bite. Not so sure I like this in an IPA
