All Grain
1 Gallon(s)
1.75 Gallon(s)

Attempt to adjust ABV to 5.0% after adding water to secondary to account for loss to trub. Also will try hop burst technique of adding hops at 180 degrees after boil, let sit for 30 minutes then cool and pitch. Will decide on later dry hop later.

Notes:

still slightly congested but just couldn't wait to try the second full bottle. Not much aroma unfortunately, at least that I could grab onto. Perhaps a bit warm since the beer fridge at Packwood seemed not working well. Still more enjoyable than the Stone GoTo that followed, which suggests that either congestion or palate was troublesome to enjoying a good IPA today. What is definitely different here, though, is that there's almost none of that plasticky taste common to past trials. Only 2 bottles left now so let's get rid of the congestion before the next taste ;-)

Tasted on 7/17/2015 by WyoMikey

Notes:

first tasted the small, half-filled 18oz bottle which contained more than a bit of the bottom gunk of the secondary fermenter. And unfortunately I was congested so aroma was difficult to discern, though SOME hops was definitely there, certainly more than any other of my brews so far. And the taste? Excellent, eerily reminiscent of current favorite Broken Window. Unfortunately there was only a few precious ounces of this silty brew. Second bottle lacked the aroma a depth of taste that the first had so wasn't quite as satisfying. Again, congested so hard to get aroma but taste was like many decent IPA's, if less bitter. Enjoyable, not great, but if without congestion there's real aroma I would be ecstatic. Very happy in any event.
