No sure where I got my wires crossed
but after about 10 batches
I just realized I have been dry hopping when I transfer to the fermentor!
I am currently working Pliny the Elder and rereading the directions see I was SUPPOSED to ferment and then dry hop. I have not idea why I did not realize this sooner, and all the posts I have read thus far are pretty much common sense - dry hopping is for aroma and introducing it as soon as I have been is well, wasting lots of hops aroma.
To date the beer has been good, but I feel stupid I did not make that connection until now!
