When is the "best" time to dry hop?
I generally do it about 7-10 days before I bottle or keg. Most of the time I cool the carboy to get my yeast to drop out as much as possible. Take it out - let it warm up to 65 or so again and then insert hops. (i prefer to do everything in one carboy. 4-8 weeks before I transfer)
However - I see people saying to do it a few days after fermentation stops - which seems a bit nuts.
