Apa, ipa time total in fermenter?

[trapae]

I was just wondering what you all usually use as your total amount of time in fermenter (Primary alone for those of you who don't secondary or primary and secondary total) For APA versus IPAs?
Thanks

It's really all based on where the gravity is at but generally I give it about a week. Sometimes more if I don't have time to transfer it sometimes a little shorter if I need to turn it around real quick for some reason

Generally 10-14 days. 7 days for fermentation, 3 or so for dry hop, and 3 or so for crash cooking before kegging. No real difference bfn between APA and IPA.

The hydrometer will let you when the beer is done but as has been said usually 1-3 weeks in primary.

assuming cal ale yeast? not the most flocculent. it's done when the gravity says it's done, but why move it before it's at least fairly clear. 2-3 weeks
