#21 - TOOIBU IPA

Despite saying that I was done I had little to do yesterday and a bunch of hops left over in the fridge so....

Here's what I came up with. It also basically kicked the rest of the grains. I used distilled water this time to see if the flavor could continue to improve over the spring water. This is basically a hop monster, but am blending hops to see how that changes the flavor profile (hoping for the better).

Recipe below.

Hold it...

Brew project is currently on hold. Frowny face emoticon.

Reasons:
1. The water here in Pittsburgh seems to be the cause of lots of off flavors. I don't really feel like buying distilled and adding the necessary ions so... That's a big reason.
2. See #1.

The Citra IPA made with the spring water came out pretty good. Review to follow.

Will also finish drinking what I have, review, and post those.

Otherwise, can't wait to move back home.
