does anyone know what the time table would be if i didn't keg?
If i start this tomorrow can i be drinking it in 4 weeks.
thanks
If I do a single dry hop, I usually do 7 days. If I do 2 separate dry hops, I do 4-5 days each. The timing on this can be pretty loose, but the one thing you don't want to do is dry hop too long because you may get grassy off aromas.How long do you guys dry hop, and should I do both together, or in two separate stretches?
Several possible reasons for the higher FG. Your recipe changes make the wort not as fermentable as the original one. I'm assuming the liquid extract is the biggest reason, but I didn't compare your recipes side by side. It also could be the yeast you subbed in has a lower attenuation than the original yeast. Or it could just be that Beersmith is wrong. There are many factors that go it, so it's not unusual for it to be off a bit.I intentionally pulled back on the OG just a bit to get the ABV down around 6%. BS2 says OG is 1.058 and FG will be 1.014. Does that sound right? If I'm starting with an OG below Enohcs recipe, why am I finishing with an FG above his?
How's everyone liking this beer? I like that it doesn't use any crazy designer hops (citra sim ama gal ) just classic American yakima varieties.

Whenever I've seen 2 dry hops, it splits up the hops, so in your case, you could do 1/2 oz each hop for the 2 separate dry hops. But honestly, I'd probably bump them up to 1 oz each for each dry hop (total 4 oz). Or just stick with 1 oz each for 1 dry hop period. Maybe someone with more expertise will chime in.
as I said in a few posts ago, I did not add any clarifier during the boil..I'm scheduled to bottle Sunday. What should I do to help clear my adult beverage? Can I cold crash?
temp at cold crash? just down the temp down to 44 ok?
I haven't brewed this IPA but I would usually do 7 days and then dry hop for 5 to 7 and then bottle for a single dry hop. For two dry hops, I would usually do 5 days then dry hop for 5, pull the first dry hop and then dry hop for five more.
