I'm a tad confused, or rather; just require some clarification now. I've made my second brew, which just so happens to be my first brew from extracts and not just a plain old kit. Regardless however, it calls for dry hopping 15g of Cascade in the secondary.
Where the confusion lies however: (A) I see most people on this forums prefer not to transfer to a secondary, and find it unnecessary, so do I just dry hop into the primary after the first week of fermentation? and; (B) Just to make it really clear - to dry hop, I just toss my pellets into the fermenter, I don't have to crush them, break them up, or do anything special to them?
Just trying to avoid as many newb mistakes as possible. I know I made quite a few with my first brew.
Thanks for all responses!
