Quarter Deck IPA Brew Session

Brew Session Info

Brew Date 7/9/2016

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

Missed target mash temp, as it was my first time all-grain brewing. Will have to revamp procedure moving forward to compensate for the loss in strike water temp as the tun is preheating.

Based on boiling 6.90 gallonsliters at 1.020 for 65 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.08 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.023.

You wanted an OG of 1.089. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

I was very suprised! I always test a tiny amount during bottling. When I did it seemed to be very bitter and angry! Tried it chilled after 5 days. It was under-carbonated as I was impatient. I am very satisfied with the end result. Citrus hit in the front, with just a touch of bitter at the end. All-around a very satisfying IPA.
