Beautiful light, white, fluffy Krausen floating about 4 inches thick atop the carboy, blow off water bubbling away. Temp about 64*, loosely wrapped in a winter sleeping bag.

Bottled this yesterday. Sample smelled great, but was a little "hot" tasting. Expect it to mellow over the next few weeks in bottle. Finished out at 1.011 or so.

Well, I tried one of these 9 days ago (3 days after bottling). I was thirsty, ran out of beer watching the super bowl so I stuck it in the fridge. Yuck.

I just had one this morning while bottling a stout, and YUM! Not much hop flavour, but a nice bitter flavour. I wouldn't call this an IPA, at least the Canadian examples I'd had, but I'd call it maybe a step under an ESB as far as bitter goes.

If/when I brew it again I will add some flavour hops to the batch I think.
