Hey guys,
I am preparing to do my second homebrew batch this weekend and will be doing a single stage fermentation instead of a two stage (which I did the first time around).
I'll be making the Lady Liberty Ale from Palmer's book. The recipe gives you two fermentation schedules, one with primary only (10 days) and one with primary and secondary (1 week + 2 weeks). It only mentions dry hopping as an option for the two-stage option, but I know from reading some other posts here that plenty of people do it.
If I decide to dry hop 7 days into primary fermentation, do I still only bottle after a total of 10 days, or do I need to extend that primary fermentation to allow for the dry hops to either fall to the bottom or release all their flavor?
Thanks in advance.
Ben
