Bottled my pale ale a couple of days ago. The dry hopping (sounds fresh :) ) went well. I took a sip of it before bottling and it tastes good. I couldn't find my hydrometer when I cooked the wort so I have no idea of the alcohol content. Looking forward to popping the first top.

"Head space" - the space above the head of the beer. Hmmmm......... Kind of makes sense.:o

Thanks for all of your input. One question - - - What do you mean by "head room"?

I just finished cooking a pale ale. I have done this type of beer before. The one difference with the current beer is that it calls for dry hopping. What is the purpose of this, when is the best time to do it, and what is the best technique for accomplishing this step?

Thank you for the warm welcome.
