Notes

This taste wonderful even without the dry hops. 07/10/2016 put 2 oz of Amarillo in for dry hopping. Tasted it on 7/13 still needs a few days.

Finished the dry hop and now it has a high bitter taste, hopefully that will settle out a little. I think this has something to do with extruded pellets.
