I have an english IPA inspired beer that's been going for three weeks in primary. FG is 100% settled at 1.010, ABV around 7%. Compared to the FG reading I took at the end of the first week, the 3 week sample has much less hop flavor and aroma and I'm considering what to do. Clarity is not good at this point and I'd like to get it clear. I'd also like the fermenter clear for another beer.
Hops -
0.5oz Magnum 13.5AA 60 min
0.75oz Hallertau 30 min
0.75oz Hallertau 15 min
0.75oz Hallertau 10 min
0.75oz Hallertau 5 min
0.75oz Hallertau 0 min
Yeast - Nottingham
Options:
Rack to secondary for 1-2 weeks
Rack to secondary and dry hop for 5-10 days
Bottle condition now
Questions:
Can a fairly hazy beer clear just as well being bottle conditioned as in a secondary?
Will I get much hop flavor out of dry hopping or will it be almost all aroma?
What do you think I should do?
