Well not sure about dry hopping because I don't know what this beer(ipa) will be like as it is. Anybody ever brew it? Brewers best ipa? I love me some hops though! And wow I can't believe how just in a few hours how much has settled in the carboy already! I see a clear layer on top....love the...

So this is my first brew ever...after reading about opinions of a secondary and different ideas and methods I decided to just follow the instructions. Which was to transfer to secondary after 5-7 days when bubbling was almost done. So 7 days later I had 3 bubbles a minute so I sanitized and...
