i did an extract version of northern brewers inkeeper.
i only have a 4 gallon pot so thats what i boiled then topped it up with boughten spring water.
i used a late addition on the LME (15 mins b4 end of boil) to avoid carmeliztion of it and to increase my hops utilization to compensate for the smaller boil.
i did the numbers and the late addition of the LME made up for the loss of IBU's to the smaller boil volume
OG was 1.041
pitched a healthy starter of nottingham
3 hour lag time!!!!!!
fermented in the mid 60's for 14 days
fg-1.006
slightly dry, nice noticed hop flavor and aroma
reminded me of Hazed and Confused beer
primed with 3 oz corn sugar
bottle conditioned 3 weeks mid 60's temp( highest i could get in an old farm house during a pennsylvannia winter with $3.80/gallon oil)
taste is slightly sweet.
i will drink but not worthy of sharing.
any input will be greatly appreciated
