All grain attempt two at perfecting the double IPA. This bordered on being a triple IPA (if there is such a thing) and pushed my all grain capacity to its limits.
It took a few months in the keg for this beer to clear. It came out too strong alcohol-wise for my tastes (I didn't know that was possible!) It was bitter but not astringent, which I like. I was very disappointed in the hop flavor and aroma, though. There wasn't much of either, even when the beer was young. I used a homemade Randall to try to infuse more hop flavor at the tap, but it wasn't enough to turn this into a great beer. Maybe I need to go back to dry hopping with leaf hops instead of pellets? Unfortunately my local shop didn't have much in the way of leaf hops and it wasn't harvest time yet for my own hops when I brewed this.
