11JUN2011- This morning doing the IPA was so easy I just HAD to brew again. I didn't get as much as I should have. Apparently I should not think that I am smarter than beer smith cause the first brew went well and this one I tried to change the amount of sparge water and ended up with only a 1/2 gallon instead of a full. And my gravities turned out almost twice as high as expected, oh well. Decided I would do a hoppy wheat since I've never done a wheat and since its only a gallon batch it doesn't matter if I am not super excited about it. We'll see how it turns out.

18JUN2011- Gravity down to 1.002 for a whopping 10.7% ABV. I dont know that this is going to taste very good, but we shall see.

20JUN2011- Bottled. Got 1- 22oz, 1- 12oz, and 1- 7oz bottle.
