Tuba People IPA
I wanted to make a slightly more ridiculous IPA and Jenessa’s reaction to “The First 20 Million Is The Hardest” movie, “these tuba people are ridiculous” seemed appropriate. It’s in the secondary right now, but tasted it already out of the primary and it’s amazing even without carbonation (though I’m noticing I like all my beer…)
14B. American IPA. OG: 1.072. FG: 1.020. IBU: 79. ABV: 6.4%.

- Chinook hops I received from Midwest were only 10.3%AA, instead of 13, so IBU is 79 instead of 99 :(
