Hey Guys,
I am brewing a mini-mash version of an IPA recipe I got from Austin Homebrew. I racked it to the secondary last week and noticed a strong fruit scent from the carboy. Is this normal with an IPA? I checked it again yesterday and the fruit scent, although a bit lighter, was still there.
Could this just be from the hops, as I did not strain the wort as I pitched it into the primary?
I had a very active week of fermentation (in primary 2 weeks) with reasonable temp fluxuations (65-70).
Thanks guys!
Bob
