Recipe for Brew-Day on Saturday


Here is the recipe for our English IPA on Saturday. I made a yeast starter for it, as it's on the high side for gravity. I've never done that before, so we'll see how it works. I guess if it completely craps out on me I can just buy another vial of yeast on the way to Brian's. The yeast, by the by, is White Labs WLP005 "British Ale Yeast".

Amber done

Came in at 1010. Smells great, and no issues bottleing. Should be ready to drink in 2 weeks. Due to a delay in getting together with Brian for our IPA, I'm thinking about making a Special Bitter. Should be quick and cheap. We'll see.
