It has been a little over a week since the beginning. Fermentation started rapidly and continues more than a week later at a slower pace.
The brew will stay in the primary fermenter for another 3 or 4 days before I start to take hydrometer readings. This will give me the percent alcohol based on a starting gravity of 1.050. I will put the actual equation in here when I begin to take the readings. I can never remember it off the top of my head.
When I have two consecutive days with the same specific gravity I will transfer to the secondary fermenter. I am going to be adding another ounce of pelletized hops to the secondary fermenter to give it that extra tangy hop flavor. The brew will then sit in secondary fermentation for an additional two weeks before priming and bottling.
With this type of beer I would want it to sit in the bottles and carbonate for at least two weeks, but I always become impatient and will probably try one about 5 days into carbonating.
I am still looking for some artwork, so if anyone has come across anything please let me know.

Did you have any luck through the official channels?
Kevin gave me the e-mail address of someone in the PP art department but I haven't received a response.
kk. Just sent an email off to Florian, we'll see if I get a response.
Got an email back from Florian with the okay to use the same whelp I used in the 1-800-Whelps banner; I've asked him for a higher resolution copy of the image to work with, see how we go.
Email me at gdaybloke@losthemisphere.com so we can work out what else you want on the label, dimensions, etc
