Notes

previously brewed in January 2020 with Falconer's Flight hop blend. this batch brewed August 15, 2020

pitch temp: 73.3° F
initial fermentation held between 68° F and 74° F

dry hop on August 26 with 1 oz. Green Bullet hop pellets

I wish I could say this recipe came together in an hour, but it really is taking weeks to get from list of ingredients to conditioned pale ale. The latest revision is to add dry hopping for the last three days in the secondary. I buy hop pellets in 4 oz. envelopes, so it is tempting to use lots of hops, at least when brewing a SMaSH recipe. I'm hoping the dry hopping will help anchor the moderate bitterness to a healthy aroma of raisin and fruits. A balanced pale ale celebrating hop bitterness and aroma? Who'd have thunk that was even a thing?

Seriously, I feel this recipe was inspired by my visits to the Three Floyds Brewery in Munster, IN. Their various IPAs and Pale Ales are all testaments to having a clear vision along with good ingredients and a thorough brewing process. My hope is that this beer, in its 2020 incarnation or some other, could be served in the same room as a Three Floyds IPA.

Added dry hops on Wednesday morning; cold crashed on Friday with frozen water bottles, to settle particulates

bottled: 8/29/2020
priming: scant 3/4 cup corn sugar in 2 cups boiled water
yield: 50 bottles
color: golden, approximately 5 SRM
ABV: 6.0%
taste: dry, slight grapefruit, balanced
crowns: purple
