Taste Notes

Flavor was perfect. Juicy hop flavor, soft mouthfeel, esters from Ringwood added complexity. If I scaled this up I might blend in a C-hop like Cascade, but this was awesome!

Notes

First 1 gallon batch in over a year. Held mash temp for an hour. Turned up heat when temp fell to 146. Left mash unattended and it went up to 170. Pre-boil SG was still close to where it should have been. Boiled off more water than expected. Also more trub loss. Ended up with half a gallon. Topped off with purified water. Didn't oxygenate. Pitched yeast and open fermented in 1 gallon pitcher. Will rack after 3-4 days to a closed vessel once active fermentation is over. Added first dry hops at first sign of active fermentation. Racked at 3 days, 7 brix refractometer reading. Ended up with 3 bombers of beer. Used Munton's carb tabs to prime.
