Notes

Ferment @ 67°F (19°C) for first 3 days, allow to free rise to 70°F (21°C) on day 4 and finish fermentation. Dry hop for 2 days when FG is reached, typically 1.009–1.012 (2.3–3°P). On the 2nd day post dry hop, dump trub. On the 3rd day, drop temp to 55°F (13°C) and add gelatin, Crash 24 hours later. Final pH should be 4.6–4.7, adjust as needed.
