CitrusC Pale Ale

[kitoog]

Brewed this pale ale earlier and have two fv's now waiting for the yeasties to do their stuff :) . All went well and hit my gravities and volumes ok. Took a few pics but do not have cable to hook phone to pc atm. I'll probably keg half and bottle the rest. I have my beer cooler hooked up now with my last pale ale and its great pulling chilled pints of your own beer

Looks good, some Chinook in the late hops would have been nice :)

Ye I added chinook late in a brew a while back and turned out well. I made a beer a few years ago with loads of colombus and wanna make something similar. But then again I could dry hop this with chinook or cascade . How do you find dry hopping with pellets, do they mostly sink after a week or so ? I have two fermenters bubbling away now so I could dry hop them next week with different hops.

late reply, I found pellets to end up in my bottles, so I need to syphon thru a tea-ball in future when racking to bottling bucket.
