Brew Batch #16 & #17

Hell I've done so many here lately I had to go back and see which ones I was blogging about. Today, I racked over #17 British Britter into the new 5 Cong carboy and I'll have to admit I like it better than my 6 Cong. This batch has an amazing color and had slowed down to about 1m45sec upon racking. I also dry-hopped #16 42-A IPA today with 1oz of Cascade hop pellets (5.7% α-acid), that should just about blow the top off your weiner!! When I cracked open the lid the Thames Valley strain was still hard at work (bubbling every 1m25secs). The bitter had already pooped out almost and it was pitched 6 days later! Just the smell made me think of an Imperial IPA? Double IPA? I gotta get on ordering some oxidizer and yellow caps, quick.
