Okay, so I've been dry-hopping with an oz each of cascade, centennial, and chinook for a Sierra Nevada (AG) Celebration Ale. They've only been in there 4 days and I took them out already because I will be gone for a week and I don't know what the effects will be if I left them in for 11 days instead of the recommended 5-7.
Question 1: Is this a good/safe move?
Question 2: I gently squeezed my hop-bag in hope to get some extra oils out of the hops. I think I've read that squeezing the hops is not a good thing to do, is that true and why is that?
Question 3: Since I removed the hop bag (paint strainer bag) and the hops had only been dry-hopping for 4 days, I decided to put the hops sludge/clumps into a plastic freezer bag and placed them in the freezer. My questions is: can these be used as a 60/90/FWH addition since they have barely been utilized? (sub question: if so, how much would you use? Stick to the same measurements (i.e. 1oz)?).
Thanks in advance
