In yet another twist on this one, when I added the simple sugars (1.5lbs dextrose) at the 3 day mark, things were quiet for about 12 hours then it blew the airlock off with krausen (using S05). Definitely got some fight in this one.

I find generally anything above about 1075 OG needs a blowoff hose.

Anything that I add simple sugars to seem to react wayyy more vigorously.

Yeah I think if I make this again I'll just add the simple sugars at the start and use a blowoff for the primary.

Just bottled this... drank a couple of glasses (flat pre-bottling-sugar) and was very happy with how it tasted at that point. Give it a couple of weeks (next meeting!) and I'm sure it'll be ready for sampling ;)

Kyle: Keep a bottle of your IIPA so we can do a side-by-side?
