Punch Bowl IPA - update 2

Quick update on the IPA brew. It's currently awaiting an open keg, interestingly still some activity in the airlock so I'll be cold crashing prior to racking it over.

11/19/2015  Fermentation check (day 12)
Gravity: 1.018
Taste: no change


11/23/2015  Fermentation check & dry hopping (day 16)
Gravity: 1.015
Taste: no change

Gravity stabilized for 2 consecutive days at 1.015 which is a little high still, but OK given the strong tropical notes. With stability came time to dry hop. Added the 3 oz Citra hops. 


After the dry hopping, fermentation kicked back up, likely due to the introduction of oxygen with the hops. Like I said, now just waiting for a keg to land this guy in. The target keg has sprung a leak and the new one is in the mail.
