Notes

This is a bit of a mixed bag take on a Dinner Clone. I didn't use just one recipe. V1 pulls from various grain bills, hop bills, and a typical take on water pH for new england IPAs for this recipe.

Not sure how accurate the Danvers water profile I found is but I'm using Danvers town tap water for this recipe. Will most likely need to dial in my pH for the next version.

Relatively big hop addition for the boil compared to other NE IPA clones I've done, and the aromas spilling out of the fermenter on day 1 of fermentation are pretty amazing.

Was also testing out a new brewing system and I overfilled the boil kettle so I had about a gallon too much wort which impacted my OG. Adjusted OG is 1.069 which is pretty far off the 1.075 mark I was aiming for. Regardless, should still make for a tasty mid 7% beer.

Adjustments to the next beer. Will add the full 13 oz of corn sugar instead of half. Will switch the Caramel 40L and Carapils amounts. Boiled wort looked a bit darker than I wanted.
