Thanks for the recipe. I brewed a modified version of V4 scaled for my system and anticipated losses. I subbed out Crisp MO for the base and carabelge for the caramalt because the LHBS doesn't carry any British crystal malts. I am using all leaf hops (besides the hopshots) and didn't have any Amarillo on hand so I subbed Cascade there.

Here's a few pictures of the hop additions. I portioned out the dry hops and vacuum sealed them for later.
After draining the kettle, the leaf hops had soaked up a lot of wort so I piled most of them in the immersion chiller and gave them some gentle pressing (improvised hop press).
This is fermenting right along but I was wondering how others have added the dry hop additions. Are you guys adding the first dry hop to the primary and then racking onto the second dry hop after a week or just adding all to the primary over time?
