Being courageous, maybe crazy or just plain bold, I dry hopped my 2nd ever partial extract brew, an IPA. I made the decision to secondary every beer I brew to help the clarifying of them; there are a few other reasons that are debatable but clearing up the beer is my main reason.
So in the secondary is where I dry hopped the IPA. I tossed in the pellets 7 days before I bottled (haven't made it to kegging yet, but soon) and let them rest. When bottling day arrived I used a fine mesh grain bag which I placed my auto-siphon inside of and racked the beer over to my bottling bucket. This prevented 99% of the hops from making it to the bucket and thus prevented hops particulates from making it into my bottled IPA. Two weeks later and a few hours chilled the IPA turned out great.
Just an FYI, since this was my first IPA and my first dry hopped brew I read up on dry hopping results and was made aware that an unfiltered dry hopped brew will not be as clear as a non-dry hopped brew. This doesn't mean it will necessarily be cloudy it just means side by side next to an IPA that wasn't dry hopped, the dry hopped IPA will look less clear and maybe considered "cloudy". Unless you filter the brew there will be a small amount of hops in the final product; the really small stuff that no filter bag will prevent from sticking around. I could care less as long as it looks drinkable and tastes/smells great, which my first ever brewed IPA does. Just figured I would make mention of my experience/results with dry hopping, results will vary.
