I’ve just bottled my Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA. It started off at 1052 and ended up at 1012, which I work out to be around 5.2% and that’ll be strong enough for me. It’ll also probably increase slightly with the secondary fermentation. The smells in my kitchen when I was doing it, were wonderful, and I’m looking forward to ‘quality assuring‘ the brew at the end of January.
I did run out of carbonation drops with 12 bottles of the 40 to go, so I just added a teaspoon of brewing sugar to the bottles. I’ll be interested to see if they have more carbonation, or less, as a result.
