Batch 208: Citrusy Second-Runnings IPA
This is a reconstructed recipe, since Brewtarget silently dumped my notes before I had a chance to type them up. Sigh. This brew is an IPA made from the second runnings of batch 207, a Belgian-style tripel. For now, I'm going to call this batch, creatively, Citrusy Second-Runnings IPA.
Ingredients
- second runnings from batch 207

- 1 oz. Centennial hops (6.9% alpha acid) at 25 minutes.
