Notes

3/26/17 Brewday. Stats as noted.

Decided to switch Wai-Iti hops to Cascade at last minute.

Did not check OG after adding honey. Was 1051 before adding honey. Did not weigh honey either. Looked like about 1/4 of a 24oz container, so 6oz seems reasonable. Beautiful straw color in sample. Mash temp may have climbed up to 156. Beginning to not trust my thermometer.

Decanted starter wort and pitched 500ml of 1272 slurry from 1L starter made 2 weeks ago. I lost count of what generation of 1272 this was. Time for a new culture after this beer.

Kegged and carbed. Hydro sample was initially off-putting to me. It took a week or so in the keg for the hop flavors to mesh, but when they did this beer ended up very nice. It is very similar to the Biggie NEIPA I did in December, but at session strength. No pineapple though. Other flavors and aroma similar. I think it was a mistake to sub in cascade. Would've been better with the wai iti as originally planned. Took the keg (along with two others) to a house party and about half of it was gone after, so I guess it was a hit. Have had rave reviews from my few IPA-drinking friends.

Will make this again and sub in HBC-438 for the Mosaic and Wai Iti for the cascade, if I can find it. Centennial if I can't. Overall, this was a decent session IPA.
