Dry hopping

[ABI Brewery]

I just dry hopped my two beers, I did a ten gallon batch and split into two fermenters, any way I just dry hopped a big mouth bubbler with 5 oz whole leaf cascade, and a catalyst fermenter with 3.5 oz citra pellets, this batch was 21 lbs rahr 2 row and 1 lb crystal 20 and .75 lb crystal 60. How should I let the dry hop go, brew day was the 15th

Assuming somewhere around room temperature, 4-5 days is plenty, imo...

Cheers!

you have quite a lot of room for error dry hopping, i wouldnt worry too much, at least 3-4 days at room temp

Leaf hops need a bit more days, but pellets work much faster. I only dry hop with pellets and for only 48 hours. I've used leaf hops and left them in for 5 days and some were still not entirely soaked, but you do get the aroma.

3 days to 3 weeks. I've never gone over 2 weeks but that wasn't too long.
