Going with a no sparge approach. I'm also trying the Treehouse Yeast blend approach, Yeast Pitch is 92% Safale S-04, 5% Safbrew T-58, 3% Safbrew WB-06
The Grapefruit hops are from YVH and are 2016 vintage, very resinous. Brulosophy has a Hop Chronicles entry for these: http://brulosophy.com/2016/07/07/the-hop-chronicles-experimental-07270/
Ca 95ppm, Cl 115ppm, SO4 44ppm
Pours opaque orange with 2.5 fingers of foam. Aroma is a mellow orange citrus and yeast phenolic; there's some additional fruity aroma there but difficult to clearly identify. Flavor follows the nose but the flavor is more pineapple intensity than anything with a little bitterness at the end; on the breath, there is a touch of wheat bread malt character. Body is medium and there's a bit of nucleation sharpness but not much. Overall, this is a great hazy IPA though I wish there were more bitterness and hop intensity. The inclusion of malt flavor to a small degree is great. I will give this 4 stars as I really enjoy it but it's not as resinous as I had intended.
