Brewed on my HERMS. IPA experiment with two yeasts. I'm thinking of trying a Belgian type ale and I'm using a Safeale 04 English on one carboy and a Safebrew T58 Belgian type on the other for comparison. Mashed at 158F and sparged at 170F. I used the torrified wheat for head retention and the Carapils for mouth feel and foam stability. The final Brix reading was 13%. I use a refractoimeter as I find it easier than a hydrometer. The 1 minute hops were home grown by a friend and were predominately Cascade fresh hops. I'll use Cascade pellets for dry hopping.
