Taste Notes: So far only.... "WOW! you made this!" or "Damm this is one of the best IPA's Ive ever had"....But other then that what do I know I hate IPA's....Not very bitter and pretty darn smooth is what I was going for. If your a screw face hop head this is not for you. If you want a mellow full flavored IPA... brew on.

Your fermentation temperature profile is interesting. I understand why you would start at 66 and end at 70, but why do you then drop it back to 68 for a week?

No other reason then Its the natural temp the concrete floor seems to keep the buckets in my beer room once moved to the carpet..Nothing special about that temp at that stage of the game as far as I know.
Truth be known It probably actually dips back down anywhere from 58 to 68 depending on the time of year.

Good question ....Thanks
