Notes

11/3/2015
OG was low at 1.060. Adjusted the efficiency to 55%, mash time to 90min, and batch size to 5gal to match actual results of the brew day.

Used RO water with 4g gypsum.

Showed activity in about 24hrs.

11/24/2015
Transferred to keg at 10psi.
FG = 1.011
ABV = 6.43%
Adjusted efficiency from 55% to 60.8% to match measured ABV.

12/6/2015
Dry hopped

12/9/15
Tried a sample and the dry hops are a bit overpowering at the moment.

12/14/15
Hops have mellowed and this has turned into a very good beer. Fruity floral essence with a bit of body. Haven't had a real Tropicalia in a few months, so hard to compare side by side, but this is in the same ballpark and not disappointing.

1/2/16
Keg is cashed. Good stuff to the last draught.
