Mash  5 gals  60 minutes @ 154 degrees F

I re-racked and  dry hopped about two weeks after I pitched the yeast. 

WL California V Ale yeast

( My calculated actual attenuation rate was 67%.)

I also added Irish moss @ 15 minutes
and yeast nutrient

my fermenting temp is about 68 degrees F.

and also --  yum

My cost was about $60.00

Thanks to 2 Noble Dogs Brewing for their online recipe.

an update:  After a year in the bottle, the beer has mellowed and is much more drinkable.  I thought that originally it was too hoppy.  I would change the recipe to drop the simcoe and amarillo to some more flowery hops for the dry hop.  if i try it, i will update recipe.
