Grid IPA 3V Conical v1_1

Same beer as the last one (Grid IPA 3V Conical v1_0) but instead of Vic Secret this one was Galaxy and I moved to 2/3 CC and 1/3 Gypsum. Not a bad beer but the High Color malt really is not great.

Notes

Ferment at 68f for 2 weeks

Brewing Notes:

cut cooling on whirlpool @ 205F and it dropped down to about 195F and to 180 by end of 20 min whirlpool
only cooled to 66F and then cooled in conical before pitching
normal 3V brewday. adjusted salts according to new IP book so 2:1 CC:Gypsum. moved to CTZ for bittering at ~20IBUs

wort tastes great. hops smell amazing. 2019 crop and very fresh from yakima valley hops.

9/10/10 steady bubbling 67F up to 68F
9/12/19 strong steady bubbling
9/13/19 slow steady
9/14/19 no bubbling
9/23/19 took sample 1.024. high – probably due to a lot of repitching of this yeast. did a burst of CO2 in cone at 10psi and raised to 69F

9/26/19 dropped cone
dry hopped 4 oz of galaxy
9/27/19 10psi co2 in bottom of cone to get hops back in suspension
