Greetings!
My first batch, an IPA extract kit, is about 10 days into primary fermentation. The krausen has died back a bit, but still getting frequent bubbling from the airlock. The recipe calls for adding dry hops and oak to the secondary fermentation. Problem is... I'm leaving for spring break for 10days tomorrow. So... can I just add the dry hops and the oak to the primary fermentation and let it continue to ferment while I'm gone? Or, should I transfer it to a secondary even though it is still fermenting?
Thanks!
