Woke up feeling even slightly better than yesterday. I think it's on its way out. I like.
Have a question, but it doesn't have to be the QOTD, because I think maybe there was one on the docket?
Do you have a special ferment temp timeline for ales, or do you go one set temp throughout until the CC?
Reason I'm asking is that I used to just do one throughout. This was still during the extract days, and when I would just let it go two weeks, then dry hop, then cold crash. Lately, I've been monitoring the activity. Once it shown signs of slowing down significantly, I'll wait a couple more days (usually around day 7), then I'll check gravity, and likely dry hop and start raising the temp .5C every 12 hours until the end of dry hopping. It's usually 2-3 points away from FG at this point at the start of that. Then I let the dry hops sit for 5 days (sometimes 7 if I happen to be away during that time), then I cold crash for 4-5 days, adding gelatin on the second day of that. But now I was thinking about not raising the temp at all, dry-hopping before I leave for prague (which will be day 10, I have no doubts it will be at FG at this point), then waiting until next week to start the cold crash. I may experiment with going back to the former timeline of just letting it take its time on my next few batches. What's your ale process?
