I thought it would be fitting to brew the Hobgoblin in time for Holloween (or, for Orfy, Guy F a w k es Day) (I had to put the spaces in between the letters because they got edited out!) This was my fourth batch and I finally got it right... my OG. Per one of my previous threads, I've been getting high OGs consistently (like 10 points!) and today I was prepared with pre-boiled water in case of an overshoot. Well, I set my efficiency in Promash to 87% and still got a high OG (4 points), so at least know I know what my efficiency is for next time. I added the right amount of water and voila, hit the target OG dead on. So, I have 11 gallons of Hobgoblin in the Better Bottles and we'll see how it turns out.
Only question is, my LHBS was out of Nottingham, so I used Safale S-04 instead. Any thoughts on how it will turn out compared to Nottingham?
