Finally getting around to brewing/tweaking a session IPA

[Xpertskir]

This is the start. Really hoping to keep a lower ABV/lower calorie, flavorful IPA on tap most of the time. I'll maybe up the IBUS next time, but I'm playing it safe in case it gets down to 1012 or 1013. 1014 or 1015 is what I'm shooting for and IMO 60ish IBUS balances very well at that level.

Good luck, it looks good.

Batch #2 of my "house" IPA is in primary right now. Batch #1 was still partial mash and came out WAY too thin (first time using the lauter tun), #2 is all grain and I actually got a higher efficiency than expected (hopefully I did not over compensate the malt).
