Notes
1/25/2018 - First brew of 2018! SG before the boil was 1.068, so that was right on target. Performed a 15 minute hop stand after shutting off the heat and adding the 4 oz Mandarina Bavaria hops. Chilled and split batch between two fermenters & topped up with some chilled distilled water from Hy-Vee to get to 5.25 gallons in each fermenter. Pitched yeast and let ferment in the basement.
2/10/2018 - Dry hopped hoppy red with 1.5 oz Cascade and 1 oz Simcoe hops. Plan to keg after 5 days and put on tap to replace Vanilla Bourbon Porter.
2/25/2018 - Carbed and sampled. Had to remove the poppett and disconnect to get this beer to flow on tap. Lots of hop material made it into the keg. Tastes a little vegetal (celery) to me. Maybe due to the Simcoe hops being a little old? Hopefully it mellows out with time. Otherwise, I may be dumping this batch.
6/27/2018 - Kegged sour. Nice funky pelicle on top! FG=1.000. Solid tartness with some funky hay and cherry notes. Should age well.
