Did a single hop kit from Morebeer. I cannot find if I started a thread on this one already, so please delete if I did. Single hop Cascade Pale ale. 60 minute boil at about 150 to 152, was very happy I stayed pretty much spot on that temp range. My OG into the Fermenter was 1.051. Middle ground of what the kit said it should be. ABV should be in the 5% range. Bry-97 yeast that was a bit slow out of the gate, but finished up after about 4 days at around 65 to 68 degrees in the fermenter. Just checked my Gravity, and I am at about 1.007, which puts my just shy of 6% ABV. Maybe the yeast did a bit too good a job? Either way, I am going to check it again on Saturday or Sunday. If the gravity is the same, I am going to dry hop on either Tuesday or Wednesday and bottle or keg Friday or Saturday. Leave it for at least 2 weeks and then sample and see what I got. Smelled pretty good, so I am hopeful. My next experiment is either going to be a Citra/Mosaic combo, or a single hop Mosaic. I want to see what Mosaic might bring to the party as I had a simple all Mosaic IPA the other day and loved it. Any comments on my post, improvements or suggestions, are greatly appreciated and welcomed. Rock On!!!
It sounds good. If your OG hit the middle of the range specified for the kit then you have your mash efficiency under control. I know that was a problem for you in the past, so you have done something to fix it. 1.007 is pretty dry, but that works well for IPA sometimes.
