Recipe Notes:
Changed up my last Imperial Red a little bit.. I know the bitterness calculation says 93 but there’s no way its that bitter.Batch Notes:
Mashed at 155f for 60min
OG 1.072
10/15: 1.020 FG… super clear beer, tastes awesome with a pronounced malt and hoppy aroma. Going to be a great one.
Brew #71: Fresh Hop Double Pale
Last weekend we had a great time harvesting hops at Brehk and Leslies place.. I quite possibly had too great of a time trying to kill a keg of beer.. a noble try but I was not successful. Anyhow, I took home a bunch of Nugget and Cascade hops, dried them, and made this big hop forward beer!
