UPDATE #2: Evil Dog American Double IPA (KIT)

The Evil Dog IPA, and evil it may be, has stopped fermenting at 1002 down from 1062 SG, that gives me 40 pints of 8% ABV beer.

19 days fermenting, and gives the yeast in this brew an Apparent Attenuation of 97%, that's some yeast to hit a number like that, a more normal figure would be around the 70-80% mark.

I drank the sample from the trial jar, and already the beer is good, lovely citrus notes, fairly bitter 45 EBU's but with no alcohol bite to it. This is going to be a good one me thinks. Just need to decide whether to bottle or barrel it, leaning towards the bottles at the moment due to it's extreme ABV.
