Dry hopping

[laxplaya25]

I'm looking to brew a Firestone Double Jack clone with multiple hop additions. The recipe asks to dry hop in a secondary fermenter but I'm afraid of oxygen getting in after the transfer and introduction of my muslin bag of hops. Is it ok to introduce multiple dry hop additions in the primary vessel? Do I have to take out the old bag of hops when I go to introduce another dry hop addition? Or can I just leave all of the additions in my primary and when I'm done just rack into my keg? Thanks in advance.

Just wait until the beer is settled out clear or slightly misty before dry hopping. Unless they're stepped dry hop additions, add'em all at once for 5-7 days.

Yea the recipe wants me to add 4 additions. One every 4 days.

Depending on the number of additions, you can leave'em in there till dry hopping is complete. Say, 7-10 days total in my opinion.
