Pitched: 3/9/2014    SG 1.044
Secondary: 3/11/2014   SG 1.015 (dry hopped)
Kegged: 3/27/2014   1.013

Notes: I dry-hopped for twice the recommended 5-7 days as we were travelling, and while this makes the beer pretty hop-forward it doesn't seem to have over-bittered it at all. Indeed, it's amazingly drinkable stuff, and remarkably clear. One of the best beers I've made -- definitely a repeat in 2015.
