Just cracked my first open yesterday after only being in bottles a week and man the carbonation was great! I had it in primary for just 14 days. I thought it was smooth and drinkable with a definite call to Newcastle. L'chaim!

Thanks! Luckily it looks like it's chilled out now but that's on the shopping list for the next batch.

I put a slight spin on this to ferment on Sunday and it's still going strong! In fact it's bubbling into my airlock and out the side of a 6.5 gallon bucket... Yikes! But it smells great so I'll clean it up and keep an eye out. This was my first time using liquid yeast with a built in starter...

I've been hunting for a good IPA the wife could enjoy on maternity leave and this may be it. She loves Red Chair (finally made it here in Chicago) and the recipe sounds pretty convincing. I'll let folks know in a few months!

To temporarily restore this convo... Just signed up for an account at evanstonhomebrew.com. Hopefully that'll get me on the email list. Just put my very first batch to ferment on Sunday so I'd love to share a few at the March meeting.
