I recently was able to get hold of a bottle of the amazing Dogfish Head 120 minute Double IPA. While drinking it over a game of Axis and Allies with my roommate, it got too warm for me to palate (probably an hour or so after opening... gotta sip it slowly), so I threw the glass in the freezer...

Last night I brewed the Tongue Splitter extract kit from Northern Brewer.com, and this morning before I left for work, I checked the carboy. We were bubbling through the blowoff tube, but it was more what I would expect to see at the end of a vigorous fermentation, and the kraeusen is only...
