Notes

Dip-Hopping: After 30 mins of boiling, drained 32oz wort to small stockpot and steeped muslin bag of hops (3oz Blend) with pot lid on. Added back to kettle after boil completed and BK chilled to ~150. Total steeping time was ~1hr. Dip-Hop simulates post-boil hop stand but saves time. Technically, the steeped fluid should be added to fermenter, but additional Bio-T was not necessary or desired with this batch.

All hops weights are 50/50 Cascade & EKG with average AA of 5.7%

Pitched at 60 and placed in 60 keezer. After 18 hours, beer was 62 and had dropped from 1.050 to 1.043. Will place at room temp on Day 3 or 4. Planning to dry hop along w/ ALDC but undecided about doing so late in primary for a few days OR in keg.

This grist was a GABF Pro-Am winner for another brewer. The Cascade/EKG blend (my idea) with the grains gives beer a lemon spice cake / poppy seed muffin aroma. Really nice beer that has both US/UK vibe. Planning to spund or naturally carb with DME in keg.
