I also dry hopped with an ounce of Amarillo that I had lying around. It has been on the keg for a little less than two weeks and it is incredible. Probably the best APA that I have brewed to date. Thanks Yoops.

I also reduced the IBUs to around 37. I like my pales ales to be a little less bitter. |

Hey Hey Yooper. Brewing this tomorrow! Just wanted to confirm, since this is my first shot at dryhopping, that after 2 weeks of primary fermentation, I add the hops for the last week, right?
I'm not doing a secondary so my plan was to primary for 2 weeks, then dryhop the final week and start taking my FG readings. Does this work?

Well, sort of. Make sure you're at FG before dryhopping, then add the dryhops about a week before packaging.

Ok, so...

-Check FG...If the same 3 days in a row, dryhop for another week.
-Then bottle.

Just pulled the first pint from the keg for this brew (w/ my subs of Nugget for bittering and Centennial and Cascade for taste and aroma) and I have to say it is AWESOME. It has a nice citrusy, grapefruit aroma and taste. The malt bill balances out the bitterness that the Nuggets provide. Overall I really like this beer, and will definitely keep brewing it on a regular basis.

I brewed this up a few weeks ago and it's ready for the keg now. This is the first beer I've brewed that has a really noticeable hop aroma - it smells incredible! So good that I'm skipping the dry hops. Thanks for the great recipe.

So should the ABV be about 6% on this? That's what the online ABV calculators are telling me. My OG was 1.054 and after 2 weeks it's now at 1.020. It was about 60 degrees so I've put it in a warmer room. It tastes awesome right now, I'm hoping it ferments down some more though.

Yes, 6% or so seems about right for my OG of 1.058 and FG of 1.010.

Yooper, this beer rocks. It tastes a lot like Schlafly Dry Hopped APA. Great recipe.
