Pliny the Elder – Double IPA

After Thanksgiving clean-up, I picked up a new beer to brew. I picked up the Pliny the Elder – Double IPA kit from more beer on Friday. This aggressively hopped beer made the house smell like a brewery with its 90 minute boil and loads and loads of hops. Hops in the mash. Hops in the boil. Dry hopping down the road.

On Saturday, I picked up a bottle of Pliny the Elder. Quite good. I am interested in seeing how my turns out. This should be ready in a few more weeks and it will be my first keg beer.

Tonight, I am bottling my holiday porter, which will be ready on Christmas Day. I’ll have a post Christmas beer tasting afternoon with some BBQ action. Let me know if you are interested. I expect to have the porter and Pliny the Elder ready for consumption by then.
