Two words... DRY HOP :twisted: 50gms would go down great! 100 would be even better

I hit my target with a vengeance.
24.5 litres @ 1.054 into the fermenter.

For some reason, the US05 didn't fire, but I had the brew sitting at 17.5ÂºC. Maybe a bit low.
Rehydrated a 2nd pack and pitched that a day and a half later.

It finally took off the next morning. It's now sitting on 18.5ÂºC.

It's only 4 days into fermentation, and I will probably dry hop it with Cascade some time next week.
I'm in no hurry to bottle it, and I usually wait a minimum of 2 weeks, before bottling straight from primary.
First bottling job will be a Bitter I brewed 2 days earlier.

Will post a pic as soon as I can. I can post a pic of Mark 3 if you wish, which I brewed 5 weeks earlier, and has been in the bottle since 11 June.
