I used Safale 05. I just cut the package and dumped it in. It sat in the primary at 66-68 degrees for 7 days and the secondary will do the same thing! My OG was 1.030 btw.

Well.... I'll never dry hop with fuggles again. The beer tastes ok, but the fuggles flavor and aroma is killing it for me. Also, the yeast got it to 1.006 and the enzyme got it to 1.000. Think it would be possible to redry hop with cascade in the keg or a noble hop? The bitterness is on target but it has a slightly spicy quality much like grains of paradise if you've ever had the Sam Adams beer with that in it. Maybe that's what fuggles if for I dunno, but I am not a fan.

The twin batch with lager yeast and cascade already tastes great and smells incredible. The lager yeast got it to 1.002 without the enzyme. It is currently 1 week on the enzyme and another oz of cascade. I'm giving it two weeks till a take another sample. I had enough extra to put together a 6'er without dry hop or enzyme. Can't wait to do a side by side.

FWIW- I don't like fuggles either. I don't see them as an aroma hop. Just bittering if you ask me.

Seriously, anything dry hopped will not be like miller light. They advertise triple hopping. Anybody, who has tasted miller light knows its not triple hopped.

The key here is to use a hop that you like and know it tastes good, and not over do the dry hopping.

The good thing is that with age fuggles will taste less fuggle-like with time.

You boil for 90 minutes total
- when you have 60 minutes left to boil do the first addition
- when the time is up add the 1oz
- When you transfer the beer from the primary fermentor you siphon onto the last set up hops in the 2nd fermentor.

Sure it is - they use three pellets in every 55-gallon batch!! On a serious note, I'm wondering how this would be with some lime. Call me a pansy but I like the Miller Chill after golfing or mowing. I may do something with this soon...

Probably good with some lime....

I used sorachi ace and got it with lemon taste. There's a lime flavored hop out there. Not sure what it is though.

Zest a lime and add it to the 2ndary or prime with boiled zest and sugar. Or do a late addition at 5 to 0 minutes in the boil.

Try zesting a lime.
