Learning Series’ #9: New England IPA

The tenth beer that I brewed.

A style that is quite a challenge to be made in a proper way.

Also, one of the most expensive recipes that I brewed.

Notes

Kit recipe from Lamas Brew Club.

Had some trouble when trying to bottle it because of the amount of hops used in the dry hopping, which obstructed the fermentation vessel’s faucet.

Because of that, too much hops were transferred to the bottles, which resulted in gushing when the bottles were opened.
