I'm about to dry hop Yooper's Dogfish Head 60 Min IPA clone. I have had only one beer prior that I had to dry hop, and due to not having any secondary vessel available, I just threw the hops in to the primary after ~3 weeks. This round, I do have a 6g better bottle available. Are there any real benefits, aside from additional clearing, to dry hopping in a secondary vessel? Does the trub absorb some of the flavor/aroma from the hops if it is done in primary? I normally skip the secondary and go 3-4 weeks primary straight to keg, and I would like to avoid the transfer if it doesn't make a difference either way... If I will notice an improvement by dry hopping in secondary I will certainly take that route, however. Thanks!
