Hi all,
I brewed a black IPA on Friday June 12th. I was planning on dry hopping in Primary if I have time. I am going out of town and leaving on the night of June 27th.
Normally, I do a 3 week primary, bottle for 2 weeks, and then drink.
This time I am not so sure. I thought that people did a shorter primary for IPAs? At first I wanted to bottle after I get back from my trip on July 4th. That would be 22 days. This is still 3 weeks so maybe it will be fine.
So how about I dry hop the day I leave (June 27th) and then I can bottle when I get back (most likely will bottle a few days after so like July 7th).
I know IPAs are best enjoyed fresh so I want to get this thing bottled and into my stomach asap!
Sound good? Any other ideas?
