Brewed for the final round of the National Homebrewers Competition 2016 in 2 categories:
- American IPA
- Fruit Beer (American IPA with Mango)
For the fruit beer portion I added Olive Nation mango extract to taste (6 mL / 12 oz bottle after filling).
I named this beer 13 Grand Tutors. I’ve been mining a list of Shaw brothers films for beer names, which has worked well so far. I recently realized there were 13 hop additions in this beer—like just now.
The fruit beer is named Sweet Memories, another Shaw brother’s film.
