PDF Batch #1 will finally be fully conditioned and matured and ready for drinking in about 4 days. Tonight the labels will be going on and hopefully a sample will be taken and enjoyed. This being my first batch and home brew ever I am thoroughly excited and have been anticipating this batch for just about a month now. The True Brew IPA is just about to be tasted! I put one bottle in the fridge to take the sample from, I noticed a decent layer of yeast sediment which got me excited about the prospects.
I love the post. It looks yummy. Kudos!I appreciate it!
I just did my first homebrew and it happened to be the same True Brew IPA that you used. I was looking for reviews on the kit because I was worried my fermentation was stalled after bubbling decreased to ~1/minute after a day and half after being very vigorous initially. Good to see you had similar results. I was wondering how the beer turned out? I couldn’t find any reviews of the final product on your site. I also added 1 oz of cascade pellets and did not add the oak chips to mine. Great job on the site! Hope to hear back.
The overall consensus was good. It’s a bitter malty IPA, It lacks the hop flavor and aroma that i enjoy from the hoppy beers. If you want the larger hop taste and nose I’d do a late addition of fermentables as well as a lot of late addition hops. Hope that helps, and Enjoy!!
