Notes
Based on the DIPA Bomb from TMF
6/4/14 - racked to keg w/ first dry hop. Left in fermoire set at 68. Gravity at 1.016, hoping racking will rouse the yeast up for a dryer finish. Sugar syrup I added was pretty thick. Krausen was mostly down. Pretty cloudy and some residual sweetness, but the hop character is pretty epic even before the dry hop. Lots of dank oniony columbus and pine. High hopes.
6/13/14 - cold crashed yesterday and pulled first DH today. Added second DH and re-purged keg. Put on 30#. Some residual carbonation from doing secondary in keg, but not much. Pulled sample with significant yeast in it. Very promising. Good body but finishes dry. Very floral and piney on the nose. Great blend of floral, pine, and dank oniony Columbus. Malt is present, but stays out of the way. Columbus lingers with some pine notes. Some warming alcohol, but not boozy. Not really a session beer, but wasn't shooting for that. This is definitely a hop bomb, but has enough balance to maintain drinkability.
7/26/14 - Keg kicked some time ago and never really got down to a tasting note. Overall, this was good and the hop character was epic. Only flaw was it came off a bit syrupy/sweet. It finished pretty dry, but the fruity/floral hops were a bit overdone. Wouldnt know it for how long the keg lasted.... Next time dial the fruity hops back just a bit. The character was nice, just out of balance. This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
