Saturday I brewed a remake of the Righteous American, which would be my 21st batch of beer I’ve made. We wanted to give it some extra kick without spending any additional money, so I added more hops. Instead of the 1-1/2 oz of Cascades, I used 1oz Cascades and 1/2 oz of Chinook. 30 minutes into the boil I added 1/2 oz of both Cascade and Wilamette hops. Then the 1/2 oz of Wilamette for the aroma. Initial gravity was 1.048, so it should turn out nice as far as alcohol content.
Sunday I bottled batch 20, our Bombay IPA. The final gravity came out to 1.012, giving us an alcohol content of 5.51% by volume. Turned out higher than the previous brew of this beer.
Next month I’m hoping to have enough extra money to brew a Cherry stout. We will see….
