" ... would make Charlie proud"
By: Tony V
Date: Feb. 2, 2008
Beers brewed: Double IPA
Comments: With 100% pale malt grist mashed@148f for 90min and
lots of fine citrusy American Hops Cry Havoc was able to create an
excellent I2pa that achieved 80% apparent attenuation! Hop
bitterness and flavor came through well, but was balanced with a
pleasant fruitiness. Give this yeast extra time to do its job and
you will be rewarded with a beer that would make Charlie proud!!!
