I decided that it was time to use up some hops I’d been saving to brew another batch of the Boathouse IPA, aka Hop Delivery Vehicle. I still had some Galena, Columbus, and Chinook, and substituted Fuggle in place of the Glacier used last time. The gravity was 1.073, made up of only pale, crystal, and carapils malts. Almost two pounds of hops go in this batch, more than two if you count the dry hop. Fermentation started within thirty minutes, and was quite lively. It’s the first time I’ve had to use blowoff tubes since we started using the fermcap foam control. Both yeasts needed blowoffs within a few hours of pitching. The UFO (Unidentified Fermented Object) brewed last week was racked to secondary, and the gravities were quite low, 1.013 for the Dry English and 1.011 for the British.
