Leap day is a good day to brew an IPA...
Brew Day: 29 Feb 2020
Partial Mash:
8 oz light Munich
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb Pilsen DME
4 oz table sugar
Hops:
7 g German Perle (@ 20 min)
1 oz Mandarina Bavaria (@ flameout, 10 min whirlpool)
Yeast: T-58
Addendum, 7 Mar: Dry hopped with 14 g German Mandarina Bavaria hops.
Addendum, 11 Mar: Bottled tonight, on 30 ml of light corn syrup, dissolved into 1/2 cup of boiling water. Got 8 good bottles and 1 partial fill.
Addendum, 26 Mar: Tried one bottle tonight. After chilling the beer, opened it to a slight hiss, but the beer poured with minimal carbonation. The taste of the beer was good, but it was almost (not completely) flat. I did some research and found a couple of options; one is try flipping the bottles over for three days, then turning them up for three days. Another option is to try uncapping the bottles and adding a grain or two of dry yeast to each bottle, then re-capping, agitating, and waiting. I'm going to start by rotating all of the bottles, and see how that goes.
