Brew Batch #123 Shepherdess IPA

Kegged for a final 6.96% at FG 1.008-0.001@50F. I hope to have it in Hogtoberfest in Punxsutawney on 6/22 fresh! This batch was by far the most tiresome hazy I've done, I'm glad they all aren't this way or I'd go straight lagers from here on out. But every Shepherd needs a Shepherdess! Not as many hops per volume on this one and the ones used were of a softer variety than the ones in Shepherd's, but the recipe was made to match. I'll pull a trub pint tomorrow night, back it to serving pressure and hop what little hop bite seems to be apparent is gone by bottling Wednesday. From a cost standpoint this one is half the hop investment, just hop it turns twice as fast.
