Notes

‘20 day dry hop’ refers to dry hopping in the keg.

Transfered to keg on day 11 with keg dry hop and force carbed

*fermented at 18.9c for first 5 days then raised temp to 19.5c.

Cold crashed on day 8 for 3 days (work busy)

Therefore 1st dry hop had 3 days @ ferm temp the taken down to 2c over 3 days.
