General Info

20120714 - Day 10, SG was 1.014, which was the target FG. I think I'll dry hop it with some freshly picked hops for 3-4 days and get it in kegs shortly after that.

20120715 - Harvested 12.5 oz of Cascade hops yesterday that had already reached maturity and were ready to be picked. Let them dry out overnight to 3 7/8 oz of whole cone hops -- 31% of the original 'wet' weight. Split them between two nylon hop bags weighted down with random, sanitized stainless steel parts and added them to the primary fermentor (Sanke Keg). I'll let this dry hop for a few days and rack to kegs, probably on Wednesday.
