Pi Day, Bottling Day

Time to bottle the 5 Legged Dog IIPA.  It has been dry hopped for 7 days and smells wonderful.  A nice grapefruit, citrus aroma.  We ended up at 9.2% ABV.  Bottled 12 in bombers, to which the wife asked "why did you bottle so many in big bottles?"  The only reply would be, "why not ? It's 9.2%."

Based on the prior experience brewing this beer, bottling was done calmly while the 3 little brewers were in bed. 

Can't wait for this to be ready...

Dry Hopping

Dry hopped the IIPA today.  This brew will be dubbed, 5 Legged Dog, in honor of the heat that Hudson is packing.  Should be able to bottle next week - looking forward to drinking this brew.
