Notes

IPA with wild hops used for everything but initial bittering (as we have no idea about the acid content in these, just that they're fresh and smell good).

Copying the mash schedule from our original IPA for this one. It includes a double infusion, 90 minute step mash done to make the beer more fermentable, drier and less sweet, which will allow the hops to shine through more.

MASH SCHEDULE:

-6.4 gallons @ 154.5 F to reach 144 F, hold for 30 minutes (beta sacch rest)
-Increase to 151 F and hold for 60 minutes (alpha sacch rest)
-Sparge @ 168 F to collect 3.5 gal
-Recirculate to collect 3 gal for 6.5 gal total

9/4/15: Brewing now. So far we have good efficiency, gravity looks solid and yield is right on.

10/17/15: Somehow this got pretty messed up during fermentation. We're probably just gonna dump it because we can't figure out what to do with it and it doesn't taste good/as planned at all. Our first wasted batch, but I'd say that's pretty solid considering we've been doing this for a couple years and have brought every other batch to fruition. Oh well.
