Gavin C Supporting Member HBT Supporter Joined Jul 21, 2014 Messages 7,036 Reaction score 3,486 Location Dallas Jul 4, 2015 #23 Top cropping would be ideally suited to this beer. You don't want to miss out on this new house-strain that has sprung forth. +1 on the gelatin. Clears up bottle rocket haze like there's no tomorrow. Do you plan on dry-shopping carting it. No more than 5 days IMO. You want to avoid any wheely off flavors.
