Notes

Ferment at 66 degrees until about 90% complete. Then slowly raise to 69 degrees over a couple of days to finish off.

Dry hop in the primary after fermentation is complete using mesh bag. No need to do a secondary for this recipe.

Remove dry hops after 7 days, and let sit for 2 additional days.

Rack to Keg.

Changed Dry Hop from 1oz to Citra to stuff I had on hand. We'll see how this one goes.
