Bottled!

Bottled this one last night.

Schedule thus far:
3/2/08 - Pitched yeast
3/9/08 - Racked to secondary, dry hopped with about 0.25-0.5oz dry Nugget hops
3/26/08 - Bottled!

OG was a little lower than calculated, probably due to whole hops soaking up wort. Never again.
Waited until bulk of fermentation was done to rack to secondary (1 week), took 2.5 weeks in the secondary for fermentation to finish completely (zero activity for 24 hours). Primed with 1/3 cup of table sugar and 1/3 cup of dark brown sugar.

It's going to be hard, but I'll be waiting at least 1 month to crack open a bottle.
