Hop test - test batch (Equinox)





A test batch of the mostly extract 1 gal test batch beers I'm planing on brewing. I thought I'd make sure the result was drinkable before making all 6 of the batches. This one was Equinox. Note that I'm not using all of those hops, I just wanted to make all of the test batches have equal IBUs.

The infusion w/ who knows what grain (crystal 80L I'd guess) and the DME and hops that are about to be added.
Fermentation temperature contol using water bath that I can add ice to
Got a new centigram scale (drug dealer like I hear) to accuratly measure hop and yeast dosages.
