Alright, I'm still new so you'll have to excuse me.
I'm on my 5th batch of malt extract brewing. Starting to try tougher recipes including grains and what not.
I'm about to try a Sierra Nevada Clone that calls for dry hopping in the secondary when fermentation is complete. Seems to make sense to me, the problem is I'm going to be traveling while this is fermenting so I'm going to have to ask my girlfriend to add these for me.
I've never used a secondary before. I've had fine results just leaving it in the primary for 1 month then transferring to a bottling bucket right before bottling. Can I get away with her just dumping the dry hops into the primary 2 weeks in? Will she need to transfer to a secondary and then add the dry hops? Or can I add them after 1 month when I'm back and ready to bottle, and if I do that should I wait even longer to give the dry hops some time?
Thanks for any advice!
