Notes

Ideally I'm wanting this beer to come out around 7%, so cane sugar will be added to the wort if the OG doesn't reach the desired amount.

Good and bad brewday. Managed to get the OG to 1.080, but somewhere along the line misplaced a liter of water here or there, so the pitching volume was 4l, meaning at very best it'll yield about 3 liters. The plan now I guess is to ferment in primary then put it into a glass demijohn. A taller vessel for secondary may make it easier to clear it. This also might make dry hopping a tad difficult. Fuck it. It's a small batch DIPA now.

05/12/17: 1.009

Bottling date: 10/12/17, 2.2 Vol @ 9.3%

First taste: 27/12/17 - Start carbing beers a bit more. Go for something like 2.4-2.5 vols as most brews so far have little carbonation. 2.3 or 2.4 would have suited this brew better. Ease off the crystal malts the next time you brew an IPA as this one is a little bit cloyingly sweet. Very chewy mouthfeel but great hop flavours. Ramp up the bittering hops and definately look at a DH schedule next time. Not bad for a first DIPA.
