yes, just picked today. Not much of a yield but only first full year. Seems all my other plants cascade, chinook and columbus are at least two weeks away.
looks good but I find if I do not use at least 2 ounces I do not get the hop flavor I am looking for an IPA. Your recipe for a Pale Ale is good, I am just saying if you are wanting more hop flavor 2 ozs is right amount for dry hopping.
Add a tee and bleed in a little air through a valve. If you have these things hanging around to use. 27" will pull out all the excess gas and alcohol if more than room.
I think it is a way to calibrate your talent, equipment but once I tried a couple times I was ready to move on. The brews were very close and then I move to adjusting recipes. Always wanting to change one variable to see if that improved it to palate.
