mash seemed thin -- lots of liquid
I don't think I get enough flow through the grain bed during recirculation.
Mash set at 150F |

Three packs of WLP002 put in.
The yeast was thick and had to be squeezed out -- it made a mess. |

Had problem with CO2 transfer.
The CO2 line in and tank held pressure great!
I think it is likely that hop debris clogged the keg post popit valve.
beer does not have a strong hop aroma.
It has a big bitterness and hop flavor (which, is good) -- but need more aroma.
Put beer in new 2017 tank and put on about 40psi |

OK -- still harsh.
Slightly cloudy.
No big hop aroma.
Might dry hop late to give aroma. |

Dry hopped with 3.5 oz of pellet centennial -- same package as used for brew day.
Used 3 SS nuts, muslin bag, and dental floss
I need to try a salvage the hop aroma. It is bitter and a decent hop flavor (I guess) aroma is severely lacking.
I'm still frustrated with IPA making skills -- I believe I need water corrections. |

Tried a little sample a couple hours after dry-hopping -- yuk!
It was nasty and bitter AF! I hope this beer mellows -- I can be patient -- but yuk!
Not infected - just not good. |

Added 1/4 cup 1/2 tsp of gelatin
This beer tastes ruined alright -- almost a cheesy stale hop aroma is now in place.
Bitter bomb -- never again. |

Beer is very clear and look fantastic.
decent aroma
The taste is still a little vegatal -- but it is much better than it was before. |

I don't know if this will "clean" up any more.
It is too bitter. I am out of heavy bittering hops forever.
Beer has cleared -- and the hop taste is vegatal.

I don't know if I got more used to it -- but it is much better as it mellowed. |
