I am hoping to brew a pale ale tomorrow (11/28). I am going on vacation 12/20-12/29. I need to dry hop for 1 week before bottling.
Here are the 4 options as I see them:
1) Assuming its ready, I can move to secondary after two weeks (on 12/12) and dry hop for 1 week and bottle on 12/19 before I leave.
2) Transfer to secondary before I go and wait to dry hop until coming back so it would be in primary/secondary for over 5 weeks total.
3) Leave in primary until I come back and then transfer to secondary and then dry hop for a week.
4) If it's not ready to move to secondary after 2 weeks, can I dry hop in primary after 2 weeks? And bottle before I go.
Any other options?
