In our first IPA news... fermentation like whoa. It looks to have finally died down and we are looking at an ABV of around 6.8% right now... we'll see if that keeps up.
We moved it from secondary fermentation with dry hops into another carboy to allow some sediment to settle. This is the "gunkiest" beer that we have brewed yet, and it's unbelievable the amount of sediment and yeast that has settled to the bottom so far, and somehow more keeps showing up!
The dry hopping and extra yeast really seems to have added some interesting layers of flavor, but right now the nose is VERY heavy on the grapefruit. We are really excited to see how this turns out in the end with some carbonation and some clarity, because the color is absolutely fantastic at this point.
As always, we'll keep you posted as we go along, right now I'm just getting ready for the Top Chef season finale... GO KEVIN
