So called because it's got 3 20g hop additions. :
All to plan so far. I'm posting on bottling day so I can get some decent pictures and a bit o' taste. It's an ipa with a big aroma and not much else - aroma hops would total 100g in a 5 gallon batch :
Efficiency came out at 68% which was good considering my grain bag had mould growing on it, so I decided on a sparge-in-the-collinder method instead. Not bad considering! 1.046 OG and 1.011 FG leaving it at 4.6%
A little under ABV for an IPA, and less colour than it denotes too, but I wanted to try using just pale malt to see if my additives (wheat, carapils) are helping at all, and I'm pretty limited (well, not as of today as I've just bought a new boiler, but that doesn't help this batch.)
On first taste, it's sorta floral and sweet, but not much bitterness in the hops due to the clean bittering of the mt. hood. Hoping age does some good for it as it's a little watery as it stands! Maybe I could use it to convert my wussy ass friends to IPA...
Dem hops
Dem hops again (during draining after ghetto cooling)
