Hi ,
I have been toying with a double IPA kit and would appreciate some advice on dry hopping and yeast.
I like IPA 's but am not the crazy super hop freak. So I was thinking about not using the chinook hops as a dry hop. I was just going to skip the dry hop so that I didn't go over board.
Do you think this will achieve the results I am looking for? I have already begun fermentation with a liquid yeast, white labs California ale 001. I am worried about it because i left it in the closet of my house for a few weeks before i remembered to put it in the fridge. But after 36 hours there is one bubble every 12 seconds in the airlock.
I was considering pitching a champagne yeast if things don't get going in another day?
what do you think, not so good of an idea?
by the way the OG was lower than I expected only 1.062
