I dry hopped it over a week ago and checked it on Sunday and there was still a lot of hops floating on the top. I gave it a gentle stir to break up hoping it would sink and settle out. I checked it last night again and there appears to be some activity, looks like the fermentation has restarted...

I've been to FT Lauderdale a few times on training course at the maritime training centre. We used to go the the craft bar Tap 42 up the road from there. Really enjoyed it there, great place. Auchtermuchty is just up the road from me too.
