IPA

I am back at it again, making another batch of IPA.  The last one I made is just about ready and this recipe is similar with a few minor changes.  I sampled the last batch although it was a bit under-carbonated to decide what to do on this one.  The main thing I am working on it increasing the hop flavors, the last one is great in the bitterness and aroma, but I want to boost up the flavor a bit.  Saying that, I am very pleased with the last batch, it is a total citrus bomb and the lemony taste of the Sorachi definitely comes through and works with the more traditional citrus flavors like grapefruit and orange.

IPA
Style: Northwest IPA
Malts: American 2-Row, Crystal, Munich
Hops: Amarillo, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Sorachi Ace
ABV: ~ 6.5%
Playlist: The Wu-Tang did it right last time, so let's do it again


The Amber, Brown and Pale are in various stages of readiness, so far so good.
