So decided to brew up another beer before the cruise and decided on an IPA as I’m running of my IPA and that is my wife’s favorite. So with that I had the grains and went to the store to get some hops. They didn’t have exactly what I want but pretty close and the yeast was a little old for my liking. Still go the yeast and decided to make a starter the night before. I also collected the water, added the minerals, and ground up the grain. Setup the Anvil to be ready for me in the morning when I wake up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

@06:28 added in the grains to the 156F(68.8C) water and started the timer. with 29 mins left in the mash I stopped the pump and gave the grain bed a good stir all the way down and continued with the pump. @07:41 had the basket on a tilt and cleaned up what I could while letting the wort drain off. @08:06 hit 200F(93.3C). Pulled a gravity sample of 1.040 SG. @08:16 hit the boil and started my timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a lot to do with this boil which are the beers I tend to like to drink. With 10 minutes left in the boil, added in the yeast nutrient, Irish moss, and the wort chiller. At the end of the boiler took a graivity reading of 1.043 SG and dropped the wort to 175F(79.4C)@09:18 and tossed in the whirl pool hops for about 10 minutes of soaking them before continuing to cool the wort down. I love the cold ground water had the wort down to 78F(25.5C) around 09:40. Tossed in the yeast starter and let it go. @10:00 all cleaned up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@18:00 on March 4th I added in the dry hop. This fermentation kicked off hard in a few hours of pitching yeast and the next morning was hammering away. Still have high krausen and slowly fermenting when added in the hops but mostly complete. I did add a small heater near by to keep it somewhat tempered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

@08:20 I started to transfer over the IPA. I didn’t take a sample but I also didn’t want to open the fermentor. Transferred over to a keg and took a sample at the end and got a reading of 1.010 which is what I figured it would be coming in at 4.33%. Transferred over to a keg and placed in my refrigerator to carbonate up. Has nice aroma and taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
