Man, this is gonna be an interesting batch in the head-to-head against the OG. Ultimately the final dry-hops were left off. CBB gave us some Abstrax samples they picked up of Citra and Mosaic, so the 2nd dry-hop of those was adjusted to liquid using the 5ml samples and a micro-pipette. Galaxy 2nd dry-hop was increased to 3.33oz but the others were converted to 2.5mls of Abstrax to give it roughly a pound per barrel hop addition that's more easily converted to bigger systems. I can tell you that when those bottles were cracked open they leapt from their containers! FG 1.005+0.0001@56F to give a solid 6% AND this was scaled down to a 5.25 gallon batch as opposed to 5.5. This doesn't sound like much but that's 1.5 gallon savings per barrel with only 2 single hop additions substituted OR an extra half barrel per 10 barrel batch. That more than pays for itself. Can't wait for taste off in a few weeks.
