So I have already asked about this and continue to ask people on this topic. I am going to brew within the next couple days a new recipe that I am using that I based off of a recipe within a book I am reading. It is an IPA and is supposed to be a very bitter. The book says to put in a primary fermenter for 5-7 days and then transfer it too a secondary fermenter to 10-14 days.
I do not have a lot of experience and most people I have talked to say to stick to just one fermenter. They say it just does not make sense to go to a secondary fermenter most of the time and using two different fermenters increases the chance of contamination. Sooooooo who has an opinion on this matter.
Also on the recipe I am going to dry hop the last week before bottling. I am not sure if that makes a difference. But still most people have said I should just keep it in the primary fermenter and then dry hop the last week. Please give me some advice and thank you.
