Going to dry hop my IPA tomorrow and just wanted to see if you guys prefered dry hopping in the primary vs the secondary. I was leaning towards racking to a secondary but I know a lot of people have success using strictly a primary. Plus it's alot easier to just throw the hops in the primary. Thanks guys
 
if your gonna use a secondary, dry hop there.

i do not, so i wait for a week, dry hop half, the next day when the bubbles stop (bubblin starts when i dry hop every time) i add the second half.
i let it sit for two more weeks, then crash cool the whole fermenter, and bottle.
seems to be workin out very well for me.

i am going to secondary my AB clone and dry hop then, it will be the first time i have done so.
 
You want the dry hopping done as close to bottling as possible.

(I keg, so the dry hopping is done there.)
