pitch 1x 500g brick of US-05

when 2 plato from predicted FG, increase temp set point to 75F.
when gravity is < 1 plato from expected terminal and/or blow-off activity is very low, shut blowoff
When gravity is stable 2 days in a row and passes diacetyl test, soft crash to 60F
1 day after soft crash to 60F, harvest or dump yeast and add dry hops.
after dry hopping, when gravity is stable 2 days in a row and passes diacetyl check, crash to 32F and add 500 ml biofine, 20 g antiox-C, and set c02 to 16 psi
