A favorite style among home brewers, due to heavy use of hops.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/p>\n

2\/8 10:30PM :: The malt extract for this batch was very thick. \u00a0The aroma of the mash, after the sparge, was wonderful. \u00a0After adding the Northern Brewer hops, the batch gained a decidedly bitter aroma. \u00a0In the end, the wort has a very hoppy taste.. as an IPA should. \u00a0The yeast had a 22 hour incubation period, and was strong, but not as strong as the Alt Bier batch. \u00a0Fermentation is using the wick method.<\/p>\n

2\/12 1:00PM :: The first 30 hours of fermentation was quiet.. no bubbling. Around the 36-hour, it started to bubble, and then went into steady 3-second bursts around the 40-hour point. As of now, it has slowed to 10-16 second intervals, so it still has one or two days left to ferment.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned a lot about the effect of temperature and preparation time for the start over these last three batches.<\/p>\n

2\/16\/2010 10:00PM :: Bottling yielded 1x 1L snap-top, 2x 34oz Ikea snap top, 1x 16oz Grolsch snap top, 1x 24oz, and 43x 12oz bottles. \u00a0The ABV is about where I like it. \u00a0The wort is very smooth, and was foaming slightly when I filled the bottles. \u00a0The taste is quite hoppy. \u00a0This is a good batch. \u00a0I am hoping to have better success with carbonation than with the last two batches. \u00a0I used pure, uncooked corn sugar, at about 1\/8th teaspoon per 12oz, to feed the yeast.<\/p>\n

3\/2\/2011 10:00PM :: Sampled a bottle after two weeks. \u00a0The bottle has decent carbonation: an improvement over the last batch. \u00a0And the beer is smooth… very smooth, and rich in flavor.<\/p>\n

3\/18\/2011 6:00 PM :: At release time, the taste was wonderful. \u00a0This is definitely the best batch of the year, thus far.<\/p>\n
