Black IPA Northern Brewer Brew Session

Brew Session Info

(Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

1.072 OG before introducing yeast. Mashed in brew pot, with grain bag, used just 3 gal sparge water, about 6 gallon runoff into fermenting bucket. Then back into brew pot for boil, about 5.2 gal after boil, 5 gal into fermenter. 11/13/2016 SG at 1.015 and nice aroma, taste. Should have moved to secondary today 11/18/2016 SG at 1.012 and initially was intending to just bottle it, but remembered that I hadn't yet dry hopped so moved to new plastic carboy (4 gal net) and added the 1oz Cascade for dry hops. Plan now to bottle in 3 or 4 days. Aroma still there and nice taste. Recovered the yeast sediment for another batch in future.
