I was just reading the newest BYO and the article on Dry Hopping by Terry Foster.
He writes: "For the homebrewer, I would recommend dry hopping in the secondary, or in the keg, as adding such hops in the primary in the late stages of fermentation is generally impractical."
He doesn't give any more explanation of this statement and it has me a little confused. I've dry hopped in the primary quite a bit and been happy with the results.
Why is it impractical for a homebrewer to add hops to the primary?
