Notes

upped the IBU from forty to one hundred IBUs. I have two pale ales and 3 saison on tap wanting a DIPA so turned this into west coast IPA.

Brewed on 12/4/2017. Starting Gravity/Pre-Boil Gravity 1.060, One hour boil all hops added to a 4 inch by 10 inch hop spider. Muslin Sack used at 160 F, 20 min hop stand. Removed hop spider at end of boil.

Kegged on 1/2/2018 Finishing Gravity 1.012. Strong IIPA golden hue is nice color. OG 1.072. 7.88% ABV stronger than I like. Nelson and Southern cross hops nice combo but Nelson a little subdued by southern cross. Nice beer but would drink better as a single IPA IMO.
