Im doing my first IPA and I like em hoppy as hail! The kit is an Octane IPA kit from MIDWEST SUPPLIES. Kit includes: 6 lbs. Gold liquid malt extract, 3.3 lbs. Amber LME, 8 oz. Caramel 40L specialty grains, 2 oz. Cascade, 1 oz. Willamette, 1 oz. Goldings pellet hops, oak chips. @ 72.5 IBU's.
I ordered extra of each hops and extra oak chips hoping to not only add extra hops in the secondary (not in recipe or instructions) to dry hop but also put in some extra oak chips for added flavor and bitterness.
My primary is a standard food grade fermenting bucket and secondary is a 5 gallong glass carboy. I got a couple muslin bags but would like any and all advice on how to do my best in the dry hopping.... thanks everyone!
p.s. ive never used coopers carb tabs before, how many would i put in 32 oz swing top bottles if it says to put 2 in 22oz bottles?
