Happy - Hoppy Pale Ale - Mini Mash

American Pale Ale • Partial Mash • 5 gal

I call this my Happy - Hoppy Pale Ale because it is so easy to make, and the hop flavors and aromas are outstanding. This is the perfect beer for both cookouts and after doing all that summer yard-work. Even the yeast strain likes warmer temperatures, which means you don't have to dedicate a refrigerator to your brewing hobby.

"Ferment between 65 - 73 degrees for one week, then transfer into secondary and add the dry hops." But you don't have the dry hops listed in the recipe. What should we use and how much?
