Well, that one's a keeper. Slightly over 2 weeks in the bottle, and I broke down and tried two.
Definitely on the sweeter side, not sure if that's from the bourbon or the hopping error. Can't
really t...Posted in thread: Seattle, WA trip on 01-18-2012 at 04:13 PM

Sounds like a plan. If it clones me, I can get more work done. Grocery bill might be an issue,

Thanks for the advice; I was toying with throwing it in the keg or back in a 6gal Better
Bottle; my prime goal was to get it off the hops and then figure out the dispensing issues
later. I was plannin...Posted in thread: Stupid kegging question on 10-30-2011 at 06:59 PM
So I've been slammed at work, and have an IPA that has been sitting in secondary dry-hopping
for 2 weeks, which is 4 days longer than planned. The last thing I want to do this weekend is
