So I may have gotten a bit in over my head here. I attempted my first all grain brew last night of a Stone IPA clone recipe, using the brew in a bag method. Here are my questions:
1) I took a hydrometer reading before the wort went into the fermenter and it came up .010 lower that what the recipe listed (1.055 instead of 1.065). Is this bad?
2) the recipe includes 2 hops for dry hopping. For an IPA, at which point should I put them in the fermenter?
Thanks for any advice you all might have. I'm a little stressed! I also learned the value of a mash tun from this experience!
