I am brewing a NB Chinook IPA and I did notice that I dry hopped right after I racked to secondary. I see on most recipes that it says to let beer settle for a week or two before dry hopping in secondary, but just wondering what effects it will have. Would you recommend bottling after two or let it sit for 3-4?
 
I like to dryhop for about 5-7 days. I add the dryhops about a week before I plan on packaging the beer. Some successfully go longer, but I find that I get best hop aroma and flavor when I package at about day 5-7.
 
I don't think it'll matter much if you didn't let things settle out before dry hopping. Especially considering that tons of people don't use secondary at all--and dry hop right in primary.
