I brewed up a batch of Chinook IPA last night for the fall; everything went smoothly even though I didn’t quite have enough water. This is the second batch I chilled too far, so I’m going to amend my ingredient list to one bag of ice and 4 gallons of water. I missed the specified original gravity by 0.001%, which isn’t too shabby.

My parents are coming into town in October, so I’m putting a moratorium on the saison in the keg until they get here. Guess I’ll have to stock up on some seasonal pumpkin beer….
