I just got my Sierra Nevada from Midwest and plan on brewing it over the holidays. A few questions:
It says to dry hop in secondary 1/2 oz of hops. I prefer to keep my beer in the primary bucket for about 4 weeks then go straight to the keg. Will I taste much of a difference if I don't dry hop and leave out those hops? Any suggestions since I am using my secondary carboy for something else currently?
Also, I bought their alcohol boost. At what time during the boil should I add this?
And finally, does anyone have any recommendations with this recipe for those of you that have tried it before?
