so ive got 2 batches under my belt. a kit thats based on a san diego IPA and a recipe from a book based on a chico west coast pale ale. the chico was my latest batch. i am still an extract brewer
Questions: the recipe called for a hop addition at the 0 min mark. i completely forgot and added them in while the pot was in the ice bath. will this make the batch a mess?
also, i would like to start tweaking recipes myself to start getting a grasp on things. but what is the typical primary fermentation for an Ipa? im doing 10 days right now, then 10 days on my secondary. i like the dry hops during secondary as well.
