Hoppy IPA

Wyeast 1098 British Ale at 19c

Put second half of this Hoppy IPA in the fermenter.  Fridge is set for 19c with 0.5c leeway.  For some reason the hydrometer reads 1.052 but the refractometer reads 13.75% Brix so they disagree.  There is a lot of crap in suspension in the hyd. test tube so it may be that effecting things.  I’m a bit grumpy about the amount of loss there is to trub, I’ll have to get a tap on the wall of the kettle so that I can whirlpool.  I’m going to bulk prime this batch because I’m sick of having super gassy beers.
