Brew Batch #40 Warrior IPA

Pretty much the same recipe without adding extra fermentables then pitching 2oz of Warrior hops at the end of the boil. OG 1.060 + 0.00@ 63F. The most amazing part of tonight is the use of my new immersion chiller that the in-laws wanted me to have. It took hot wort at 196F to 96F in 10 minutes!! Then simply add some cool water and pitch the yeast. I could tell the difference this time in a good hard cold break. Hopefully this will start making some serious changes in my aromas and overall taste profiles. We also used the new beer thief to get a sample for the hydrometer. I don't know what I'm going to do with all of the ice packs and my stainless steel ladle now:(
