So I thought I would follow up as I have now cracked a few pints. Am very happy with my first batch (Super Session IPA), albeit still a little cloudy in the bottle, it has a lovely grapefruit citrus aroma and the taste follows up. Even my wife likes it (not good

). Once in the fridge the sediment in the bottle hardens up so i can pour the entire bottle without disturbing it. Bonus. As it was my first batch I had a few #
[email protected]^& moments, like spilling some of the grain past the bag. No doubt why I have some cloudiness now. Made some changes in the logistics for the second batch and still managed to have a few #
[email protected]^& moments, just different ones. Each batch brings me closer to a smooth mash and boil.
Second batch is 2 days into a 4 day dry hop and then to bottle. This one is much clearer. Just tested the SG and it was bang on at 1.015. Not as hoppy, which surprised me, but certainly more mouth feel and a darker colour.
I'm going to do a stout next and hope to have fewer #
[email protected]^& moments as I have fixed some of my previous difficulties I guess you could call them. A toast to great beer.
