Batch 15: Lagunitas IPA Clone

I brewed this clone by-the-book from “Clone Brews”, along with the help of Kati Campi. I didn’t weigh down the manifold in my mash tun, and thus we lost quite a bit of sweet wort, and the final bottled volume (24 bottles) was way below what we planned on (48 bottles). C’est la vie. Next time, I have to remember to weigh down the manifold as I’ve done in the past … or bite the bullet and make a copper manifold, which will not warp with heat as the PEX manifold does. Live and learn. Anyway, I had a good time brewing with KC, she seemed to learn something, and she enjoyed it too. Cheers!
