Notes

24.5 litres in fermenter. Its Green!!!
Racked after 3 days. Fresh hops added. (don't do that again!!!)

OG: 1.064 FG: 1.010 Hazy

I added 4 litres of boiled R/O water after transfering to keg to reduce ABV from 7% to 6% (about).

Prolonged chilling did not reduce the haze.

Result: Very Very Hoppy IPA. Very floral with some canabis taste.
Its good, but not great. So flowery that it should be served in a vase not a glass.

Next time: tone down the Idaho dry hop.
