Hey guys,
I've been lurking on here for awhile and have finally started on my first beer, a Sierra Nevada clone. I brewed it on Saturday and everything seems to be going fine. Here is my question. In the instructions, it tells me to rack to secondary after 3 days of fermentation and do the dry hopping then, but everything I've been reading says that dry hopping should only happen during the last few days of fermentation to prevent contamination. I was just wondering, is this was a common practice, or if I should wait to rack the beer?
