Hey all,
Long time reader, first time poster. Ok, I have only been reading for a week. I just started my first batch ever. I am doing an IPA from a kit that I got from northern brewers. It had me add in 1oz of chinook hops at 60 min, then half an oz at 10 and 1. It also tells me to dry hop an additional oz 1-2 weeks before I bottle during my secondary fermentation. I have two questions: 1) I want to add at least another oz of hops during the dry hop, but I was wondering if anyone had ideas for hops besides chinook that I could use, which would go well with the chinook. 2) how long should I dry hop for? The recipe tells me to do the secondary fermentation for 2-4 weeks, but I am not sure when I should put the hops in. Can I leave them in there for too long? I would appreciate any help you could give me. Btw it is a 5 gal batch.
