Yeast: Safale US-05

Procedure:

Bring 1.5 gal water to 152F. Steep specialty grains for 30 min, then remove. Bring to boil, then turn off heat, add malt extract, and bring back to boil, stirring frequently. Add 7g Columbus, boil for 40 min. Add 7g Simcoe, boil for 10 min. Add flocculant, boil for 5 min. Add 7g Columbus, 3.5g Simcoe, 3.5g Amarillo, and 5 oz. Corn Sugar, boil 5 min. Turn off heat. Chill pot to 72 degrees. Rack wort to secondary pot with 2 drops Fermcap-S. Rack wort to carboy. Aerate.

Hydrometer reading (Original Gravity) = 1.082

Top off volume to one gallon. Pitch yeast. Fit air-lock.

Fermentation:

Fermenter is at 72 F and started bubbling within a few hours--still very strong at 24 hrs. Bubbling has slowed dramatically after 36 hrs. Allow 2 weeks.

Bottling:

After 2 weeks fermentation, rack to bottling pot.

Hydrometer reading (Final Gravity) = 1.016                                                                 ABV = (1.082 - 1.016) x 131.25 = 8.7%

Add priming sugar. Filled 9 - 12oz bottles. Allow 2 weeks, then refrigerate.

Notes:

Very good double IPA. Sweet at first, then dry finish. Nice hops.
