Clone Of Red House IPA Brew Session

Brew Session Info

Brew Date 3/8/2016

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

Strong fermentation started after 12 hrs, fermentation was steady for 3 days at 65 degrees. Put on brew belt and got temp up to 70 degrees and krausen grew, shut belt off and hope to keep around 68 for next couple of days as I have read that WLP041 can ferment for a while. Ended up with 54 - 12 oz, 2 Bombers.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 7.50 gallonsliters at 1.052 for 75 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.25 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.061.

You wanted an OG of 1.060. It looks like it will be over.

Tasting Notes (3)

Tasted on 4/16/2016 by MicBrew93

Notes:

Fantastic beer!! Nice citrus aroma, very balanced hop profile, a very clean citrus hop up front and nice bitter pine on the back. Perfect carbonation with a nice head retention, nice deep amber red color.

Notes:

Have 5.3 gallons in bottle bucket, has a nice floral aroma with a nice pine bitter, good session beer.

Tasted on 3/20/2016 by MicBrew93

Notes:

Pulled a sample to get gravity reading, got 1.012 on hydrometer and 1.014 on refractometer after using conversion software. Very tropical start and finishes with a piney back taste, a little bit of heavy alcohol taste, not super smooth, but a nice malt finish.
