If you want to stick to bottling/kegging at day 30, I would dry hop anywhere from day 20 to day 25. I don't think you want to dry hop for longer than 10 days max otherwise you lose the benefit you're going for.

Brewed this on July 2nd, bottled it on July 17th. 3 weeks in the bottle and it is absolutely delicious. I love hefe's and I would put this one up against any that I've had. I'm very happy with it. It is the best beer I've brewed.

Did you order 5/8" Stainless washers for the inside of a cooler? What was the part #, do you recall? The part I find on the site doesn't look right. The inside diameter doesn't look big enough. Thanks!

Great News! I gave my brother a six pack to take home the night we brewed. He brought one over last night and whaddya know it was perfectly carbonated and tasted fantastic. He kept his in a spot over 70 degrees or so, so I have my answer. My only worry (other than we continue to get beat up...

My ale is under carbonated...I think due to loss of some of the priming solution during batch priming. Long story...but I spilled a little before adding to the bottling bucket, then the gasket on the bottling bucket was leaking. I unfortunately added the priming sugar first then siphoned in...
