Going for a piney, grapefruity IPA, with plenty of bitter bite, finishing clean with slight juiciness. Addition of cranberries after a few days for color and tartness.
Wort SG 1.043 = 62% efficiency (sparge issues)

11 days - SG 1.026 Not nearly as planned on. Very little to no taste or color from cranberries. Still tastes pretty good; fruity from the hallertau mittelfruh. Moving downstairs to cold crash ~56° for 2-3 days prior to kegging.
