Pinter small batch experiment

Just brewed a 6ltr batch of an all grain DIPA. With Galaxy , mosaic & Nectaron . Used the WHC mango madness yeast & 15gm mix of these hops chucked in as a dry hop addition. Looking for an abv of 7.5 % ?? If it works will share recipe if it fails will share experience. If there is an explosion & clean up will share pictures 😂Malt Miller were my inspiration. 🍻✌️

I'm doing a double batch - side by side.

23L Munich helles in the grainfather, and 5L of @Twostage 's "Louie" as a test batch in my 5L stovetop setup.
The stovetop setup is a pressure cooker that has a sous vide mode which is ideal for mashing, then boil in the 5L saucepan and chill overnight.

Hope Louie goes OK athumb..
