Taste Notes
Stone XI Anniversary Black IPANotes
12/18: Brewday went without problems
12./19: Full blowoff
12/24: Steady fermentation
12/30: Read gravity to 1.052, which is very strange. Raised temp and will try again in a few days
1/2: SG @ 1.042. Very slow fermentation, may consider adding some SA-05 to speed things up
1/4: SG @ 1.040. Pitched a satchet of Safale-05 to hopefully get it to finish. Keeping temp around 72
1/8: SG @ 1.032. Moved upstairs into the kitchen, seeing some increased activity (slight krausen)
1/10: SG @ 1.027 going down but slooowly, the flavor is really starting to come out
1/10: Sidenote: Temps have been going up and down due to not being able to get a steady ambient in the office. Need to work on this...
1/11: Still at about 1.026, tastes great, so I may just rack it soon or leave it for a week while I'm out of town. Will decide on Friday
1/13: SG now at 1.022, will leave till Saturday and then rack
1/15: Racked to two kegs. Suspended two muslin bags with 2oz Simco + 2oz Amarillo into each kegs and placed in office. 1 week or so there...
1/27: Removed dry hops, awaiting bottling for one keg, hooked the other up to CO2
2/2: Bottled 4.4g from keg, easy and quick process and little waste when using CO2 to push the beer into the bottles. The taste is not as hoppy as expected, has a somewhat sour twang to it, but it certainly will be good with some aging
2/12: More sampling. A complex beer with both hops, malts, and other flavors.
2/18: Tried again - is aging very nicely!This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
