Taste Testing

Blackened is the IPA has been on CO2 at 10lbs now for 8 days. Pulled off a pint of it tonight, and I pronounce it good.

The recipe that came with the kit called for it to be dry hopped, but I altered it and put all the hops in during the boil. Most dry hopped IPA's tend to be a bit 'green' to my tastes.

Carb level still isn't quite up to full snuff, another week and it will be perfect. But, as of now, it is good to go as it still retains CO2 in the beer after the head subsides.

The gravity bottomed out at 1.024 on a projected 1.021. Earlier I thought it was a bit sweet to taste, but now it seems to have equalized out and has a nice balance.
