Notes:

Racked to keg 4/19 without dry hopping. Nice aroma of citrus fruitiness and has a sweet after-taste. Will know more as it reaches carbonation. Figured the sweet El Dorado hops will be accentuated through carbonation, so eliminated them from dry hopping to be on the safe side. I had a quart left over so enjoyed that with my sirloin.

    Substituted 20C for Cara red and 45C for 60C (original values are in description). Also, used Mangrove Jack M44 West Coast yeast in place of S-05.

    Stated fermenting today. Unsure of the strength of the candy-like El Dorodo hops, so will taste test before dry hopping. I'll let you know!
