28MAY2012- My brother-in-law, Bryan, was running out of beer and since we both had memorial day off we decided to brew. Bryan was holding his daughter over the brew kettle to smell the hops when some drool fell out of her mouth and into the beer, hence the name. Everything went fantastic except when chilling the pump was starting to make some funny sounds. We let it run via gravity through the CFC while we took the pump apart. Even with proper rinsing it had gotten gummed up with too much sugar. Once cleaned thoroughly we put it back together and ran like a champ. Efficiency up to 72% now. A little bit of recirculation fixed the problem. Can't wait to try it, but with the dry hop schedule it's gonna be a while longer than usual.
07JUN2012- Down to 1.014 for an ABV of 7.6%. Added 4 oz of CTZ and will let it sit til next week then add the Citra.
14JUN2012- 4oz of Citra added. No gravity taken. I'll wait one week and bottle half and keg the other half.
05JUL2012- Waited a little longer than I had planned to bottle but finally got it done. At least the first half anyway. This half was down to 1.010 for an ABV of 8.1%. Tastes really awesome, can't wait til it's carbed.
29JUL2012- This is the best IPA I have ever made!
