We are now more than 72 hours following pitching of the yeast and it is bubbling quite happily. I dropped the hop addition in after about 36 hours of fermentation. A large hop krausen developed 24 hours later, but now has subsided a bit.
I will ramp the fermentation temp up to 69º tomorrow as I'm leaving for the weekend, hoping it will clean up after itself and be ready for packaging on Monday to the brand new keezer :-D |

First sample tasted. Immense hop flavor and aroma, but a bit harsh on the tongue likely due to hop particulates not settling out completely. Set fermentation chamber to 34º F for cold crash. After 24-48 hours at this temp I’ll rack to keg and put it on gas. |

Performed closed transfer to corny keg and set it at 30 psi at 43º.
Unclear what my final tally is but looks/feels like 4 gallons in the corny keg. Lost quite a bit in the fermentor due to hop trub losses. Need to account for an extra gallon in the future. |

Took a sample this morning after dialing down to 12 psi. Harsh hop bite in the back of the throat, but flavor and aroma were great. Carbonation was low-medium. Hoping the bite subsides after a week or two in the keg. |

Harsh bite is gone. Very mellow now, will do another sample in a few days. |

Almost at the end of the keg, last glass had a little bit of hop bite, maybe due to low volume in keg coupled with remaining hops in the dry hopper. |
