LeftOver IPA

Okay, time for another "left-over IPA", and this time, we have something of an interesting mix of hopped wort that contributes to this brew.  There's a wheat beer, two sours, and 3 IPAs.  Keep in mind, however, that this is all from wort after the fermenter has been filled and the yeast pitched for the contributing beer; this was the wort left over in the brew kettle, and there was still some hops that the wort was sitting on while it sat in the container, waiting for today's brew.

Prior brews that contributed to the wort for this brew:
Hefe #2 - wheat beer, some gentle hopping via German Perle, prior to yeast
Nordic IPA - Melon and Mosaic hops, prior to pitching the yeast
Nordic Sour IPA - same as above, but sour
Galaxy IPA - NE-style IPA using Galaxy hops (prior to pitching yeast and dry hop)
Julius IPA - NE-style IPA using Julius hops (ibid)
Watermelon Sour IPA - After the wort was soured and hopped, but before the yeast, dry hop and watermelon juice

Brew Day: 16 Jul 2019

Boil (20 min):
Everything's already in the kettle

Hops: See above

Yeast: US-05

Addendum, 20 Jul: Transferred the beer to a clean fermenter, as it was sitting on a lot of left-over hop junk.  I'll let this sit for a bit more than a week, and then dry hop it.

Addendum, 28 Jul: Dry hopped on 14 g Huell Melon hops.

Addendum, 1 Aug: Bottled tonight; got 9 good bottles.
