Got some Vermont Ale Yeast from Yeast Bay 4L starter (2 steps 2/2) going now. I have a ****load of hops on hand.

Overboard on the hops? Is there such a thing? I'm fired up for this one. Was planning on getting this bottled pretty quickly (17 days)...Ready to drink in total of about 4 weeks.

NOTES:


Yeast Notes: (theyeastbay.com)

Isolated from a uniquely crafted double IPA out of the Northeastern United States, this yeast produces a balanced fruity ester profile of peaches and light citrus that complements any aggressively hopped beer. Expect this strain to take off fast and ferment wort quickly, though elevating the temperature following the bulk of fermentation may be required to raise the attenuation.
In order to achieve high attenuation, we recommend fermenting at 66-68 ºF for 3-4 days, and then raising the temperature to 72 ºF until a stable gravity is reached. We also recommend mashing at 148-149 ºF and adding a small percentage of the fermentables (~ 5-10%) as sugar.
Attenuation has also been reported to increase when repitching after the first generation.

Temperature: 64 - 72 ºF
Attenuation: 75 - 82%
Flocculation: Medium-Low

Looks OK, plenty of hops.

I'd mash a little lower (~148). I think you will end much lower than 1.014. That's good, as I think it will be a little sweet if you do end at 1.014. I'd be trying to get down to about 1.008. ..... I like them dry!
