barley wine dry hopping

[Surfman]

i just put my first batch of barleywine in the fermenter yesterday. my plan is to dry hop it in secondary. my question is how long should it sit on the hops? im planning on leaving it to bulk condition in the seconday for a few months. should i wait to add the hops or should i add them when i rack to secondary?

thanks

You don't want to dry hop until you're ready to go to bottles. All that great aroma will disappear very quickly in an open vessel. Add your dry hops when you're one week from bottling day.
