Folks,
I have been reading through some peoples fermentation temp schedules for ales and wanted to get some in depth suggestions for my brew i am making this weekend for the first time. I have a brand new DIY temp controlled FV that i just build, it can heat & chill. So i am game for suggestions. I am making a DIPA @ 9.5%abv with 1056 Wyeast and a single dry hop. Target OG 1092 & Target FG 1022
Here is the basic outline i need to tweek:
Day 1-Chill wort to 64*(or as close to 60 as i can get) oxygenate for 5 min, pitch yeast. Set FV to 61*F. Hit with 2 minutes of oxygen 12 hours after pitch.
Day 3-5 Krausen drops then begin to rise temps. Increase by one degree every 12 hours until 71*F is met. In other threads does this mean when there is basically no visibale krausen left of just the thin 1/4 inch thick layer that kinda lingers when only a few gravity points are left????
Once at 71*F rest one week
Dry hop for 3 days - I this the best time to DH after the dice. rest?
Cold crash to 40*F for two days
Keg
Cheers - Any help would be greatly appreciated
