Looks like my posts are not in chronological order for some reason, but, meh. My day starts out at 6:00 a.m. (Why can I not sleep in on my days off?) Anyhow, I'm racking to secondary onto 1 ounce of UK Phoenix hops. The gravity after 1 week primary fermentation is 1.030 placing ABV at 4.75%. Seems like it is a bit high yet, considering it has another week or two to go. (I mashed at 155F) Another 1-2 weeks in secondary on the dry hop to see where it will finish up. Current aroma: toffee/caramel notes with floral and spicy notes from the hops. Current flavor profile: mildly sweet, malty, caramel/toffee with moderate hops bitterness, some hops spiciness, and bitter cocoa/coffee notes. (At 7:00 a.m. this actually quite appealing!) Well, now the clean up begins.
CHEERS!
