Brew Batch #16

42-A IPA went to bottle tonight. It is a beautiful batch of 22 22oz brown bottles, 2 clear, 2 Grolsch and 2 12oz long-neck brown all with bumblebee ass yellow crowns. I'll admit if we hadn't used the grolsch or long-necks that we would have had a full batch of 22's. We also came up short in the volume area, a half gallon short again, but we figured that it was part of the yeast layer on the bottom of the first racking. The British Bitter had a good yeast layer on the bottom (about 2 fingers worth) and it came up about a half gallon short, so at least it's nothing we're doing. We tried it and there is no doubt that it will satisfy the hop monster in you. It has an awesome deep ruby red color too. FG 1.010+0.00 @ 61.7F to give 7.43%abv. Man, I've got to order more high gravity kits!!
