Interesting. I had a similar experience--even with the bucket lid half off and using my auto-siphon, I was able to collect 3 gallons and would not go any further after that. I tried to restart the siphon---but it would not take. Bottom of bucket was well over top of keg. PRV open and it was...

I know it has been said before, (OP confirmed their process in original post) in order to hit this style on the head, it is so IMPORTANT that you prevent any oxidation. To do that, you must minimize any contact with the air during the transfer. This means that using the standard auto-siphon...

Excellent pics!!

Plan on brewing up OP's recipe today. Although, since I could not get my hands on Galaxy in time, I will be increasing the Citra... Should have Galaxy by my first dry hop addition...and will use more Galaxy than Citra. Where are all the pics at?? Cheers!

Brewed early January 2016. Bottled Valentine's Day--with the wife--that is teamwork right there! Undershot OG, so ended right around 8% ABV. Still...a very good tasting beer at 7 months in the bottle. I will have to brew another batch beginning of each year. Great aroma...nice head and very...

Thanks. That's what happened here also. Gonna try and fish out the hop sack and see if that helps...may take a while to clean up...doesn't.hurt to try.

Did a Google search and found no results. If anyone has a recipe close to the real thing and is willing to share...please post. Thank you!

For those who dry hop in the keg...do you just leave in the keg till it kicks...or do you remove from keg after X days? I left in keg 3 weeks ago...and at first, tasted good and now I am wondering I made a mistake leaving in.

I started using hop bags after my first clog in pump. After that....all good.

Yes, that is the plan...will leave the hop bag in there till the keg kicks it. But like the OP said--he dry hops in the keg for two weeks before he starts drawing from keg, and I will be doing the same.

Second attempt at making this brew. First one I dry hopped in the fermentor...now I am taking a shot at dry hopping directly in the keg. Overshot my OG at 1.072...ferm temperature was spot on. Ended at 1.010. 12 days in primary-last 48 hrs cold crashed at 40F and into keg with 1.9 oz dry...

Second brew on the GF this morning. 81% eff.

Made the recipe using a new brewing system...hit an OG of 1.072...decided to dump the other half of the candi syyrup to try and aise the OG in my haste. I also under pitched by only using a 1 liter started. After realizing this the next day I grabbed another vial...this time using a Belgian...

Don't know...I didn't like the idea of using that plastic ring so I oped for a hose clamp instead.

X2. Also, don't confuse the temp reading on the controller with the temp on the wort out hose. Feel the wort out hose to help you know when it is ready to pump into your fermentor.
