Brewed it! Gravity was 1.048. Haven't pitched yet, waiting for it to cool down to 50 deg or so in the fridge. #16
Pitched 9/16/07

Forgot to mention that I pitched a 2 liter starter in the evening of 9/16/07. It's still sitting in my fridge now around 50deg fermenting happily. I think it is just now starting to slow down a little.
First taste 10/17/07

About 3 days ago I reduced the temp to about 40 deg and have been lagering the beer. I took a taste tonight and was thinking of adding the dry hops. It tastes really great. Nice and clean and crisp with no off flavors at all. The aroma is a little weak, which I'm sure is due to the dry hops not being in yet. I could bottle it right now and have a great beer, I'm sure, which is making me wonder if I should bother with the dry hops. I hate to risk screwing something up that is already really good. The color is also really nice on this beer and it is crystal clear which I was particularly impressed to see. Gravity measured 1.010.
