I've searched around and have gotten mixed answers so I thought I would ask...
I brewed an IPA a couple days ago and it is fermenting quite furiously and had an OG of 1.062. I was told IPA is a beer you want to drink young, but how young? I have found people saying as soon as its gravity evens out rack it to secondary to dry hop and bottle a week later. Others say leave it for 3 weeks then dry hop for a week then bottle. I am not sure what to go with. I would like to drink it soon so of course I'm hoping the first answer is the right one. Any advice?
Also.. When you dry hop so you steam hops before hand to sanitize or toss 'em in right from their bagg?
Sorry if the answers were out there I just couldn't find them.
