I'm brewing an APA in which I'm dry hopping (which I haven't done much) and cold crashing (which I've never done before). The recipe says to ferment for 14 days and dry hop for 5. So is that 19 days total, or do I start the dry hopping at 9 days? If I also want to cold crash for a couple days...

So I made an APA and bottled it a couple of months ago. In hindsight, I realized that I was over 1 gallon short on my 5 g batch (clue #1), but I made no adjustment to the carbonation. I opened 1 or 2 bottles and they foamed for 10 minutes straight (clue #2), and even when I poured it gently...
