Getting back in to brewing and thought I'd start with a Young's APA kit while I'm gathering all gear up.
Started last Sunday, followed the standard instructions although I realised I topped up to 25l not 23l so will come out lower than 5.6% which doesn't bother me. It's been bubbling away all week sitting in a room at about 20-22c.
My question is when should I dry hop it? I'm thinking of leaving it for 2 weeks then adding the standard 60g of pellets the kit comes with but also adding 50g of Nelson Sauvin. Is two weeks long enough for this kit?
After about 7 days after dry hop I'm going to crash it for a week then bottle at 20c for 2 weeks. Reckon that should do nicely.
Open to any comments/feedback/experiences etc.
