Lowered OG to 1.060 (I don't need anymore 7.5abv beers in tap) and did 5% dextrose and sh*t canned the carapils. Went with Amarillo, as my local was out of citra.
However the Apollo and summit were in full force in the boil, the aroma was awesome. I like the Belgian pils thrown in the grist as well, but I'll know more after fermentation on how much and what character it imparts. Seems like a great recipe, can't wait to taste it.
Nate, I've seen you use carboys and dry hop with pellets... How do you siphon into the kegs without cursing pelletized hops? I really don't want to use hop bags on this beer considering its only a 5 day dry hop. Thanks again for the recipe.
When I'm transferring off of a dry hopped beer, I set things up such that the racking cane is sitting well above the trub. I'll watch the siphon as the liquid level drops and move the racking cane around slightly to avoid trub/dry hop if needed. Hope that helps!
