Session Notes
Yeast Strain(s) Used: WLP001 California Ale
Fermentaion Temp: 67°F
Start with 8 gallons of wort from the mash and into the boil planning to boil off 2 gallons, leaving you with 6 gallons to ferment. You will lose the other gallon in dry-hop and transfer to the keg. The first 3 zero hop additions (1oz each of Columbus, Centennial and Simcoe) are actually dry-hopped during the first week of secondary fermentation. The other 2 zero hop additions (.25oz Columbus and .5oz Simcoe) are dry-hops added during the second week of secondary fermentation. Total dry hop time is 2 weeks.
