Welcome back to Off The Hinge Brewing! Sorry for the delay. I won't bore you with details. I have been enjoying my volunteer position at the U-Brew Home Brew Shop. I can not get enough of the beer world.

Tracey and I bottled our IPA! Unfortunately, the final gravity was 1.018. I had miss calculated the hydrometer. I thought it was 1.016, which was very close to what I was striving for. I am quite upset, yet the beer taste good and I like the body. I knew I mashed too high! It smells delicious...and the taste. Grapefruit and pine are what I got out of it. It was a bit bitter, however it should will mellow when it conditions in the bottle.

The cold side of this beer was a touch problematic, first off, the reading was off (user error) and the cascade hops I planned on dry hopping with smelled of cheese (not in a good way). The bottling aspect was smoother than usual. Now we must wait another 2 - 3 weeks! Remember to drink good beer responsibly and be merry. Cheers!
