Dry Hopping in primary

[Revvy]

I just rack, I don't bother with filtering, stuff stays behind on it's own, and my beer is crystal clear.

IDK about that crack about all us using contraptions stuff. here's proof;
my cascade pale ale PM,

My AE Burton ale,

AE Cooper's English Bitter,

No fin9ngs used in any of these beers. But I will say this. The fine crush needed for BIAB (I use it for PB/PM) & cooling the wort down to 64F does make for some very stubborn protein haze that 5 weeks in the bottle & two weeks fridge time doesn't cure 100%,as in this 1st version of my pseudo lager called Hopped & Confused;

So I was forced to order some Five Star Super Moss for the next batch,an all NZ IPA PM. Otherwise,my AE beers don't need it.

Anyone else just get really thirsty?

Amen. Half tab of Whirlfloc for a 5.5 gal batch at 15, hops right in the boil, perfectly clear beer every time.

OK some nice looking beer there unionrdr and brulosopher, and I am thirsty! Thanks for all the feedback. I am just going to be careful to keep the siphon high enough to keep it away from the bottom sludge. Maybe when the level starts getting lower I will carefully tilt the fermenter to get the remaining beer away from the sludge. Will be hitting it after work tonight - but man do I HATE the bottling part UGH! Thanks again folks, this is a great forum.

Question: I am following a kit and it said to dry hop for 10 days. I am going to hit 10 days tomorrow but I am not going to be able to bottle till Friday. Am I going to screw up my IPA by leaving it a few extra days?

You'll be fine for a few days. But don't go too long, some folks notice a grassy taste from too much time in there.
