We bottled the IPA this last weekend. Holy crap, that made a mess. My husband complained I kept getting in the way. I told him that next time, he can't bottle in my kitchen. There's a sunroom with tile floor that he can clean up and use for that.
He brewed a batch of fresh hop pale last weekend that was a very vigorous fermenter. It's probably going to get moved into secondary this weekend.
I got to taste-test a bottle of the IPA last night, and even though it was flat, it still tasted good. Reminded me a bit of a cask beer just because of the flatness. It made a tell-tale hiss when we popped the cap off, so it's carbonating. Can't wait.
I'm saving your recipe for the next time we brew an IPA, PsychoDad, because it sounds so good. Next up on our list is a porter--got any good porter recipes to share?
