I got distracted during the end of my brew day. A moose was eating my spent grain just outside of the garage door. I brew with a manual HERMS system with propane so the door was wide open. I dumped the grain into a snowbank.
I forgot my final hop addition. It was supposed to be 2 0z of Hallertau Mittelfrau at whirlpool. Everything else went well and my two 5.5 gal fermenters have a perfect krausen at 52deg.
I used Diamond dry yeast in one and Saf 23 in the other. 2 pkg in each, rehydrated.
I expect the ferment to slow in 5 days or so and then will raise the temp for a diacetyl rest. I don't secondary but just keg for an extended lagering period.
Should I dry hop during primary ferment, during the diacetyl rest or wait until kegging for best flavor?
