Arnott St IPA
Northwest IPA
Brewed April 11, 2021
This goal of this beer is to be an easy drinking, NW style house IPA. The goal is a classic NW IPA. I am looking for something piney and herbal that resembles a more noble taste. The goal is at 7% and upper mid of the IBU range to be a crisp, dry IPA for any season. Note: WLP001 yeast was harvested from Simcoe SMaSH on 1/1/2021 and added to starter on 4/7/2021 Note: Grain mill gap closed slightly and ended much above target OG at 1.080
