Hi All,
Im currently using 1318 as a house strain on a bunch of beers but am running into some troubles because of its nature as a top cropping yeast. I dont want to dry hop it cold but it really needs a good few days at crashed temps for me to harvest it out of the cone. So Id either need to dry hop it at end of fermentation and harvest (not ideal i know) or crash a few days, harvest, then dry hop cold. Anyone have any good recommendations for harvesting and dry hopping with this strain?
Or alternatively, are there any good options for top cropping in a 10bbl cylindroconical with just a small dry hop port at the top? Thanks!
