Hi all. First post, first brew I have a recipe I've been following for a "Liberty Bay IPA". I noticed some of the directions differ a bit from what general beer brewing instructions say, particularly the timeline. The timelines I've seen say you should ferment in primary fermenter for 3-4 days or until fermentation slowed. My recipe says to keep for 10 days, which I did. What I'm curious about is that the recipe says to leave in secondary fermenter for 2 more weeks, whereas other timelines say 14 days total. Suggestions?
Also, I bought a hop bag to dry hop (1 oz columbus). The guy at the brew shop said he prefers adding the hops in directly, which I did. But now looking at the timeline I'm wondering if the hop bag it called for is because it's sitting so long in the secondary fermenter...
Thanks!
