Alright so I have a batch that has been in my primary for about 9 days now. This coming Saturday will be two weeks. I have been reading that people dry hop into the primary vs racking to a secondary and cutting down the chance of getting a contaminated/oxygenated beer. I have a 6 gallon plastic carboy I could use as a secondary but I am worried about head space and my beer getting oxygenated.
So my question is, if I am going to dry hop in the primary should I go ahead and drop my hops in this Saturday at the two week mark then let it sit for another week then bottle? I have read many posts on the subject of leaving the beer in the primary on the yeast cake for extended periods of time without any problems.
With that said, maybe I should let the beer sit for 3 weeks then dry hop and bottle after a week? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
