good first batchBrewed exactly to recipee instructions.
Couldn't wait to open my first brew
today and my wife and I were both
pleasantly surprised at how well it
turned out. Maybee I figured the S.G.
incorectly cause I figured around 4% ABV
and I can tell you it seems to be much
stronger than that! Fermented at about
72 degrees. Great copper color with a
nice creamy head which laces nicely down
the entire glass. A bit more of a malty
flavor than I'm used to in a true IPA.
If I brewed it again I would probably ad
some cascade hops during the initial
boil or to second ferment. All in all a
very good first brew for the beginner
and something to work off of.
