Batch 16 Bottled, Batch 17 in the Wings

Bottled up batch 16, our Bombay IPA, last Thursday. 

Bombay IPA

The final gravity was 1.010, initial gravity was 1.050, giving us a .040 difference.  Multiply the .040 by 105 gives us 4.2, which is the percentage by weight.  Multiply 4.2 by 1.25 gives us 5.25, which is the percent by volume. 

Sampling the beer it had a great hops taste to it.  The aroma hops could have been more pronounced, but I’ll wait until it’s done bottle fermenting before I make any final judgements.  It should be a great beer.

Now, our next batch will be a redo of the Buckingham Bitter.  It was so good we can’t get enough of it.  In fact, it’s all GONE!  The fastest a beer has ever been drank at my house.  At least I get to make more!
