I'm making a DIPA (OG - 1.085, FG - 1.016) that has now been conditioning in the secondary for 1 week. I had hoped to dry hop at about this time, let it go for 5-6 days to avoid getting too much of a grassy aroma, and then bottle. Of course I neglected to look at my holiday schedule - I leave town on Wednesday (1.5-week mark of conditioning) and don't get back until Jan. 3 (what I'll call the 3-week mark).
Should I toss the hops in on Wed. and let the beer dry hop for 1.5 weeks (maybe too long)?
OR
Should I wait until I get back (maybe too late), toss them in for 5-6 days as originally planned and get to bottling?
