Well I let the bottles condition for 2 weeks and all I can say is that this beer is going to be my new go to brew. First batch is awesome and tastes great. Going to do another batch. Don't think this will last long.

No worries, I'm a noob. So if I'm going to dry hop it would I just pop open the bucket after fermentation is complete and toss the hops in and seal it back up? Do I need to scoop the krausen off before dry hoping?

I made the move last night. It's reading at 62-64* now on the little therm strip on my bucket fermenter. I've got a active fermentation going through a blow off tube into a jug of sanitizer. It's 1 week of fermenting and then I rack it to a carboy with my 3oz of hops for a week, right?

The fermenter is reading at 68*. That should be alright, right? I'll keep an eye on it as it ferments. If it's getting up there i'll put it in cooler area of the basement.

I'm going through and making the extract per the instructions. Quick question while I steep. I have two packs of S04. I'm going to pitch them without making a starter or rehydrating. Is 1 pack fine or should I pitch both? Maybe 1.5 packs?
