---NOTES------------------------------------
Measured OG: 1.098
Measured FG: 1.021
ABV: 10.3%
Yeast: Wyeast 1056 I used rinsed yeast and made 2 separate starters.
Aeration was done with filtered air via a fish tank air pump difussion stone and I airated off and on for the first 32 hrs. I didnt have my O2 setup yet or I'd have used it.
I made a single hop Palisade IPA this summer that turned out pretty well. A friend of mine moved away gave me a bunch of ingredients he had because he wasn't going to be brewing for awhile. Included in that was a half pound of palisade hops. I had 2 oz left over and wanted to use them up. They also have a citrus/fruitiness to them but a lower AA and not really considered a bittering hop but they will definitely work as a bittering hop. They seem to have blended well with the recipe so we will see how it is when I keg it. If it's not the greatest, oh well, with 10.3% i won't remember after 2 anyway.
I also used the Columbus hops to get them used up as well. Happy Brewing!!
