ok so i saved up some cash and finally got a good little setup on a brewing kit. first to be made will be an ipa, as this was recommended to me
cooper's canned ipa
light malt extract(i think it was 1.5 pounds?)
1 oz cascade hops
danstar nottingham yeast
30 minute boil
.5 oz hop at 30 minutes
.5 oz hop at end
bru-vigor yeast food
OG: 1.044
racked to secondary 4 days later
SG: 1.009
it's clarifying nicely so far and still has a few bubbles here and there
pulled a taste test at time of racking and it tasted fairly good
will bottle with priming sugar once clarified
also have about .75 gallon of mead fermenting away, this has been going for about 2 months now, i've racked it once and it's just now really settled and clear. i can still see bubbles rising in the mead and in the airlock but the last couple days it's been very very slow, when it finishes fermenting, i'll pull it off the sediment and set it up to age a bit. tasted this as well, it is excellent for a simple recipe. i didn't have a hydrometer when i made it so i have no idea what the og is, but it seems around 11-13ish based on other wines i know the content of
