Used large 13 gallon blue plastic extract carboy as the fermentor.
1/16/2011 Racked to secondary in two glass carboys. 60-40 split. Dry-hopped the larger volume w/ 2 oz Amarillo. Second, smaller volume carboy got a bit more sediment from the extract carboy.
1/22/2011 Racked the larger volume (dry-hopped) carboy into a keg, but left about a gallon behind that didn't fit. 1.012 @ 60.1F. Racked the smaller volume carboy into the empty carboy containing the remain gallon and the hop sock of Amarillo. Will dry-hop this as well for about a week (or sooner if a keg becomes available).
Nice hop aroma from the dry hopping and the flavor/bitterness is really in balance. Nice pale golden color.
