LIVEBLOG: Double Hop IPA

Today my brewing partner, Seth and I are brewing a double IPA. I will be liveblogging our efforts!
The grains.

 The directions.

 The malt.
Pouring in the liquid malt extract.
 The wort.
 Hot wort tastes like an oatmeal-y sweet tea.
 The grains have been steeped.
 Adding the crescent hops.
 Adding the cascade hops.
 Hoppity hop hop!
  The wort chiller worked amazingly well. Cooled down the wort from 212F to 80F in about 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, we re-hydrated the yeast.
  80F!

Aerating the wort so the yeast can grow and reproduce.

 We then poured the wort into a mesh sieve and into a bucket so as to capture the sediment. We filled the airlock with vodka and put it into the closet for a week.

...To be continued in seven days!
