Galaxy IPA Racked...


Racked the galaxy IPA (YAMO) today onto 0.25 oz. of dry hops. The other IPA has cleared quickly and should be ready to be bottled later this week.

Lighter week at work with the holiday and everything so going to try to crank two more beers out. 

First up is the 3rd IPA (Mosaic): For this one I'm going to decrease the crystal 60, biscuit has been eliminated, and increased the wheat. The goal is a lighter color and body that I think will complement the Mosaic nicely. Thought about changing to a pilsner malt base to really lighten it but will stick with the 2-row for now.

Second is an idea for a double Russian Imperial stout. Aiming for thick, chewy, black, and an ABV in the mid teens. Will be going with a partial extract for this in order to get it up there. Planning on starting with a Dry English starter in the bucket and then racking onto fresh Champagne yeast to attenuate it down and provide carbonation after bottling.
