Sounds like doing a single, large dry-hop 4-5 days after pitching the yeast is the way to go. Definitely worth a shot, at least!<br /><br />And thanks, by the way!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-40797213086920268442016-06-08T21:43:35.906-03:002016-06-08T21:43:35.906-03:00Funny I was just going to ask if you had experimen...Funny I was just going to ask if you had experimented with dry hopping during fermentation as well.

One thing I've read or heard a...Great article! One thing I've read or heard about Trillium is that they dry hop while fermentation is still active. That may be part of the key to dialing this recipe in along with getting the hop ratios worked out. <br /><br />I've found Mosiac to get out of control if over used. I've never used Nelson but Equinox is like Mosaic to me also. They both get this flavor that is either grassy or dank or metallic. I've never really been clear on what grassy really tastes like as well as dank...a friend says a high dose of Mosaic causes flavors like sucking on a penny or biting into tin foil. These flavors hit the middle and the back of the palette. <br /><br />I've found with Galaxy is it's very forgiving and can be used in high quantities without too much worry.<br /><br />Good luck on the next go around! You blog is great by the way. I really enjoy checking in for updates.Leesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15649184046493411386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-21190121977367269202016-06-08T14:13:02.545-03:002016-06-08T14:13:02.545-03:00I don't cold crash as much as I'd like, th...I don't cold crash as much as I'd like, this time of year. Now that my fermentation chamber is a usually-full-of-kegs keezer, I don't have a lot of options. In the colder months, I will move the Better Bottle to my garage to cold crash, especially if it's a particularly-large dry hop addition. Otherwise, I just let it settle before racking.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-67628552345514280992016-06-07T19:57:23.491-03:002016-06-07T19:57:23.491-03:00Great write-up. thanks for sharing this.

Nothing wrong with that, but the beer I'm trying to emulate just doesn't come out that way!Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469375277267237839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076002047553648960.post-36715341013974848562016-06-04T08:54:18.474-03:002016-06-04T08:54:18.474-03:00I'd agree with your mention of dropping CTZ fr...I'd agree with your mention of dropping CTZ from the steep. CTZ is so powerful and dank that it can easily overpower a beer. I like it a lot, but you have to be careful.<br /><br />Secondly, not surprised that much Nelson and Mosaic produced that type of aroma. IMO, those two start to act like CTZ in larger quantities.<br /><br />Maybe emphasis on Galaxy would have made it more OJ-like?Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994172210292912897noreply@blogger.com
