RPA - Rizero Pale Ale Brew Session

Brew Date 11/24/2015

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

Racked to secondary on 12/12/15. Did not have enough bottles to bottle this batch until 12/26/15 so it had to sit a month before I could bottle it. 2/26/16 This batch did not work out. After two months in the bottle there is still zero carbonation. I think the yeast survived sitting in the higher alcohol environment. It taste pretty good flat and even better if I force carbonation into it, but I do need to up the hops a bit.

Based on boiling 3.00 gallonsliters at 1.008 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.008.

You wanted an OG of 1.079. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

This one didn't come out as I wanted. Still has no carbonation at all. Aroma and flavor are still good and even better if I force carbonate. The hops don't show enough although the bitterness on the end is just about right. Will change up the hops a bit and try a heftier yeast.
