This time out I brew up a double IPA using a new recipe. I chose Citra, Simcoe and Ekuanot hops because they seemed to be the most common hops used in many of the big IPA’s I sampled earlier in the summer. I added in Centennial because I had it on hand and it’s one of my favorites.
I once again had priming and carbonation issues. This was the last piece of the puzzle that pushed me in to kegging. I’m very frustrated with putting in all of the hard work it takes to make a great beer. Only to be let down by priming and carbonation issues.
There is one more beer in the pipeline that went in to bottles. Then it’s kegging from here on out.
