Had a nice brew day, most everything went according to plan. Came in slightly low on the mash temp at 152F. OG was 1.052. Pitch a 2L starter of 1272 at 64F. Fermented at 64F for 1 day, then 66F for 7 days, then warmed to 72F and added dry hops to the primary. Left dry hops in primary at 72F for 1 week. Then chilled to 40F for kegging.

Kegged and force carbed to about 2.5 volumes of CO2. This beer turned out pretty much just as I expected it would. Lots of "catty", piney, citrusy hop aroma and flavor. Not much malt character. Body is a little thin (due to mash temp being too low) and finish is slightly too dry and bitter. Still a very tasty and drinkable beer. Having only one hop variety, it's a little one dimensional, but a really good way to get to know the hop character. Brought it to my last homebrew club meeting and it was quite popular. OG: 1.052 FG: 1.010 ADF: 81% ABV: 5.5% Eff: 80%
