Batch Notes:

2 Hours before starting remove Yeast from fridge and Activate
I had a little too much water and ended up with 2.5Gallon batch, was shooting for a 2.4 gallon batch. Still had about 16oz liquid left when I filled the LBK as full as I felt was max.


OG = 1.060 @ 65*F

Taste was very good, better than last batch.

I like that 1332 yeast. Have had a fair bit of good results with it...

Just been there done that Trolby as BB2 is trying to dial in our new, larger kettle. Got them all a tad full but not with as big a party as yours just some oozing but on the BD conical I was replacing the airlock a few times a day.

Got 27 bottles out of the conical and 25 out of one of the LBKs though. :banana:

Love the pics. :jumpy:

Kegged the beer in my 2.5 Gallon Mini-Corny keg with 70g Booster for about 2.6 C02
Taste was very good but not as Hoppy as I had hoped, might be a little light for an IPA

FG = 1.013 @ 62*F
ABV = 6.3%
