Fixed now. Cheers

Hmmm. Thanks for the heads up. Reads ok on my end, but I did copy and paste from an email on my phone...

+1 for no need to use secondary. Just make sure that your brew has done the majority of the fermenting before you dry hop. If not, you'll lose some of the aroma addition. Also, for my very first batch I added lemon zest to a coopers cerveza kit. I decided to boil a small amount of water with...
