I've been reading the new edition of How to Brew and there are a couple things mentioned, so I'm trying to tie it all together into a profile. Here is my best guess from the reading:
I'm using WLP090, so per White Labs I chill my wort to 65 deg and pitch, then let it free rise to 67 and hold the temp there for 4 days or so.
Then, per how to brew, I let them temp rise 5-10 deg F for a Maturation Rest. I hold the temp at 75 deg for 4 (up to 8) days.
Now I'm a little lost... the things I have to do are: dry hop (9 days for dry hop 1, 5 days for dry hop 2), cold condition (slowly cool the beer by 2F per day for 9-15F below the fermentation temp to promote flocculation and settle the haze) and carbonate.
so if I follow these things in order, I've got a profile that looks like this:
How does this look? Reasonable? Did I read how to brew incorrectly?
