Specialty Wood-Aged Beer Cedar Aged Farmhouse IPA Bottle Conditoned with Brett (El Cedro Clone)

This may not look like a typical IPA but it is really good. Shoot for a FG lower than 1.004 .The cedar and 3711 do a nice job of showing off the hops and not overpowering them.
The dry finish and crisp flavor from the hops make this a beer that's hard to put down. The cedar spirals are sourced from the barrelmill.com you will have to call as they don't display them on there website.

Notes:
------
Brett added at bottling for bottle conditioning. Just add vial to bottling bucket and mix thoroughly.

Edited a little. My hydrometer was off a little. It looks like this did finish at 1.004 like it was supposed to.

Do you know someone from the brewery? Those exact gram measurements seem a little batty.
On that note. I look forward to rounding these numbers out and brewing this up. Thx!

Cheers.

No, I don't. I have just always used grams on hop measurements. Let me know how it turns out.
