Sorry if this seems basic. Did my first AG brew, a two hearted ale clone, 1 week ago. There is still a thick yeasty foam on top but the gravity is down to 1.016 from an OG of 1.065 (expected FG is 1.014). After taking the reading I just sealed the bucket. The recipe calls for drying hopping with Centennial pellets for a week.
Would you wait until all kreusen subsides, throw the pellets in now, or rack to secondary and then throw them in? I have no problem ordinarily with skipping secondary but it seems like there's going to be so much trub with this one (I didn't use hop bags or anything in the boil) that it might benefit from getting racked to a glass carboy... your thoughts?
