Tasting Notes
wonderfully hoppy with nice balanced malt flavor.
25 lbs of Briess 2-row (2 SRM)
2 lb Caramel/crystal malt- 60L (60 SRM)
1 lb Briess Carapils (1.5 SRM)
2 oz Whole dry Amarillo (freshops, 9%) 90 min
1.5 oz Whole dry Centenniel (freshops, 10%) 90 min
5 oz wet homegrown Cascades (maybe 4%, speculation!) 60 min
5 oz wet homegrown Cascades, 30 min
5 oz wet homegrown Cascades, 15 min
2 oz wet homegrown Cascades, flame out, steeped about 5 min
2 tsp irish moss
2- rehydrated packages of safale US-05

The final gravity above is again speculation since its not quite finished. I grow my own cascades, so the wet hops were picked right off the bine and thrown in. I just transferred this to secondaries last weekend, and it is wonderfully hoppy! The cascades are really standing out and nicely citrusy. Color is just right, a little on the lighter side of IPA. I'll post more info when it's completely finished. Will keg half and bottle half.

Ahhh, sounds like some good IPA coming up soon. Too bad i don't live closer to you, like next door.......
 
Hehe. I tasted it this weekend and it is coming along very nicely. Strong hop flavor and the malt is nicely balanced.
